In 1952 she studied with Master Zadkine Sculpture in the 'Grande-Chaumiere' in Paris. And made part of the surrealist movement, which she believes immortal. The French surrealism (whose engine was André Breton), Isabel watching them all such as with your friend Triston Tzara, but without leaving the Portuguese surrealist movement, living in friendship with António Pedro, O'Neill, Cesariny, Cruzeiro Seixas, among others, and also with Eugénio de Andrade and Natália Correia, as having published several books. Poetry is therefore an integral part of her life.
Isabel Meyrelles was awarded Commander of the Order of Sant´iago da Espada by the President of the Portuguese Republic.



By way of tribute, as it has recently died, Daniel Hanequand, is also one of the leading names in international surrealism of 20th and 21st centuries. Born in Paris in 1938, but still young, he moved to Canada. Julie Oakes said in 2007: Daniel Hanequand threw out the old and created a new sociology with the arrogance of a true revolutionary French. He was released from the forms "boring" and established and invented a different race of humanoid and then put the relations of these beings, in a context with its own creation. Oleg Korolev, Russian artist of high artistic level, was the contact link to the participation of artists of the "Surrealism Now" in Russia.
