Brenda Patricia Rodríguez Fernández (Mexico City, 1973), professionally known as Brenda R. Fernández, is a visual artist whose work transcends traditional painting to delve into the complexities of human experience, memory, impermanence, and consciousness. Her practice challenges the boundaries between perception and materiality, offering a profound reflection on the interplay between vulnerability and resilience. 

She holds a degree in Arts from the University of the Cloister of Sor Juana and studied Initiation to the Arts at Mexico's National Institute of Fine Arts (INBA). In 1997, she trained under Master Luis Nishizawa, and in 2007 earned a Master's degree in Social Responsibility from Anáhuac University. 

This interdisciplinary foundation nourishes her artistic and social practice, anchoring her work in an ethical, poetic, and transformative vision. With over two decades of experience designing community strategies for empowerment and cultural inclusion, Brenda has collaborated with public institutions, NGOs, and international organizations. This background in social responsibility deeply informs her creative work, fostering a dialogue between aesthetics and social transformation.

Her artwork has been featured in museum exhibitions such as the Collective Art Show at MAMAG Modern Art Museum in Vienna (2019–2020), Museu Europeu d'Art Modern (MEAM) in Barcelona (2024), Museo del Mar in Santa Pola (2024), Museo Navale di Imperia (2024), Museo Bellini in Florence (2023), and Palazzo Ducale di Genova (2023). In 2024, she was part of the Biennale of Women in Art at Chelsea Old Town Hall in London, strengthening her voice within the international dialogue on gender and contemporary expression.

 She has also exhibited at key international art fairs and biennales including the 10th International Contemporary Art Fair in Ankara (2024), Art San Diego and Spectrum–Red Dot Miami (2023), multiple editions of the Canvas Venice International Art Fair (2023), the Hamptons Fine Art Fair and Cannes Biennale (2022), and the International Contemporary Art Fair at Le Carrousel du Louvre in Paris (2019), among others. These milestones affirm her commitment to global cultural exchange and her ongoing exploration of expanded-field painting, installation, and memory-based practice.
