I am Brenda R. Fernández, a multidisciplinary artist devoted to exploring the impermanence of life, the soul's journey, and the hidden geographies that memory, body, and subconscious carve into our being.
My practice flows between painting, sculpture, and installation, moving beyond the surface to invoke what vibrates beneath: the trace of absence, the scar of experience, the thread of forgotten stories. I work with second-hand clothing, aged fabric, and found materials not as objects of adornment, but as vessels of lived memory—repositories of the unspoken.
I do not seek to represent the body—I seek to evoke what remains after it has been undone. My work is not concerned with form as much as with what breathes through it. Fabric becomes sedimented time, threads unravel into emotional lines, and color bleeds like memory resisting erasure.
For me, painting is both wound and balm. A ritual of return. Each piece becomes a space of encounter, where fragility and resilience coexist, and silence begins to speak. I listen to what the body has endured, to what the soul has stored, to what the subconscious reveals when all masks fall.
Themes of vulnerability, interconnection, and cyclical transformation echo throughout my work. In each piece, I invite the viewer into a contemplative space—a pause, a threshold, where the nearness of nothingness opens into a quiet, luminous wholeness. It is in that trembling place, between rupture and reverence, that I choose to create.
