Abstract

Fernanda Fernandes is an artist and develops a visual research on the appropriation of nature as matter, culture and remembrance. Experiments in the field of painting, drawing, collage and three-dimensional structures. She studied Fine Arts at Escola Guignard and graduated in Architecture and Urbanism at PUC Minas. After years working with intangible heritage and investigating the affection in the ways of inhabiting, she believes it has in everyone’s memory a powerful imaginative tool for the transformation and displacement of perceptions. The memory of a visible world becomes a delirium and a trigger for invention. In the challenge of building an image, she seeks to tension formal relationships, flirting with the strangeness of what is banal to us, in an ambiguous perspective on the notions of exotic and natural. Born in 1980, in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, where she lives and work.
