"I was able to observe Jonsie Isasmendi's potential while she attended art lessons under my guidance in Buenos Aires. A deep bond and appreciation of her native land, Salta, was consistently the focus of her paintings as well as her interest in the exploration of the human being and his environment. It was that focal subject, in my opinion, that she has maintained as the deeply rooted basis upon which she has built her process into abstraction.  Rich chromatic and suggestive drawing is still strongly evident in her artwork. Art, whilst an important component of culture, behaves as a mirror that reflects times and their complexities.  Nowadays, in a  turbulent "chiaroscuro" of virtues and vileness, artists like Isasmendi clearly identify themselves. No doubt she speaks of a nourished inner world still not contaminated by the confusion of  these difficult present times."
