Isabel Moncada is a Mexican designer and artist whose practice centers on sculptural lighting and collectible objects. Based in Guadalajara, she has spent more than three decades exploring traditional craft techniques, developing her own methods, mechanisms, and processes to transform materials into works that unite functionality with artistic expression.

Originally active in the art world during the 1990s, Moncada’s practice evolved from sculpture into a multidisciplinary approach that combines design, engineering, and craftsmanship. Inspired by organic forms, asymmetry, and material experimentation, she works with techniques including lost-wax casting, blown glass, porcelain modeling, and metal forging. Her creations blur the boundaries between utility and art, resulting in pieces distinguished by their sculptural presence, technical complexity, and expressive character.
