Confluence I. Decline and Segments
Year: 2021
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 125 x 108 cm
From Fernanda: My artistic research focuses on the permanent dialogue of the artist with their work and environment, with an emphatic reflection from the pictorial.
Transitive places for meditation
Year: 2021
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 80 x 80 cm
On the canvas, through affective scenes and visual montages, I propose a series of archaeological essays mediated by the action of confluence: a principle to indicate the incorporation of the human and the industrial in the constant modification of the environment.
Bringing together
Year: 2020
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 100 x 90 cm
Represented through the capture of human labor activities, their transit and construction or configuration in/on the landscape, with the support of images (exhumed, from archive or own photographs) from a perspective of optical distortions of the painting.
Routine as a dialogue
Year: 2021
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 30 x 30 cm
This seeks to be an instrument that makes possible a different look at reality, to "contemplate" it, under a diverse staging that arises from the impulse to confront our immediate surroundings.
Displaced Nexus
Year: 2021
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 80 x 100 cm
Thus, my painting aims to be a conduit that allows generating new connections with reality through the recreation of places from painting.
