AUBERT ISSACHAR

Aubert Issachar was born in London in 1979 and raised as an only child in Athens by an American mother and a Greek father. He attended the French Lycée and obtained his BA at Brown University, where he also discovered his passion for painting.

After 3 years in NYC, he was in London pursuing a master’s degree at the London School of Economics, later taking on roles in investment banking and private wealth management in London. He received an MBA from INSEAD and then following his desire to work on more impactful projects, moved to Sao Paulo to pursue a hands-on entrepreneurial career in the early Brazilian tech scene. There he was involved in helping build several startups.

He took a year-long hiatus in 2018 to focus exclusively on painting and held three exhibitions: two in São Paulo and one in London with Virginia Damtsa, previously of Riflemaker gallery.

“Although I have painted consistently since Brown, this was the first time I dedicated myself to it fully, working for as many as 15 hours a day,” he recalls.

Now 45, he has returned to Athens to solely concentrate on his art. The current exhibition features two pieces from this later period, whilst the rest was all produced exclusively for this show between May and November 2024.
