4-11 December 2025, Paris
Belgian-born artist Isabel Deprince presents Daydreaming, an intimate exhibition exploring memory, resilience, and the quiet spaces where grief transforms into light. Through large oil paintings, sculptural wooden frames, and poetic fragments from her upcoming book Cher Frère, Deprince invites viewers into a deeply personal journey shaped by the loss of her brother to cancer.
Her work blends equestrian imagery, childhood memories, and dream-like narratives, creating an emotional landscape that resonates far beyond the walls of the gallery. Daydreaming is both a tribute and a message of hope – a reminder that art can become a language when words fall short.
A Jacket With a Mission
For this exhibition, Isabel Deprince has created a unique hand-painted biker jacket – a one-of-a-kind artwork that will be auctioned to support OncoDaily and CancerWorld, with proceeds dedicated to OncoThon 2026.
The jacket carries the spirit of her Mon Étoile series, created in honour of her brother: a constellation of stars, a protective horse, and the imagery of movement and strength.
Each brushstroke is both personal and universal – a symbol of courage for all those touched by cancer.
The auction opens during the exhibition vernissage on 4 December and remains live until 11 December. Visitors at the gallery can access the page via a dedicated QR code, while the wider public can join through the online link shared.
Why This Collaboration Matters
Isabel Deprince’s artistic journey was profoundly shaped by the experience of accompanying her brother through his illness. Her work today is built on a simple conviction: art can create connection, visibility, and support where pain often isolates.
Partnering with OncoDaily and CancerWorld allows her to transform her exhibition into something larger – a gesture of solidarity that reaches beyond the art world and into the global cancer community.

Artist’s Message
“This exhibition is for him, and for everyone who has walked through fear, illness, or loss.
If my art can offer even a moment of light – or help someone else feel seen – then it means everything.”
– Isabel Deprince
