Mabelle is from Colombia and has lived in Europe for over 20 years. In 2021 she moved to Spain where she now lives and has her painting studio.
While studying and completing her Honours Degree in Fine Art at Winchester School of Art (Southampton University), she began to direct her practice from early abstract sculpture to painting.
Initially she had commenced with very large format canvas pieces with big elements in oil or acrylic and later with the onset of pandemic lockdown, transitioned to smaller, detailed works full of sensitive marks and intricate expressions.
