Brenda R. Fernández is a Mexican visual artist whose practice weaves together memory, impermanence, and consciousness through a poetic language of texture, absence, and transformation. Her work transcends traditional painting, evolving into a living cartography of the body and soul, often through materials imbued with memory—second-hand garments, water, threads, and layered pigment. Each piece becomes a threshold where silence turns into vibration, and color into ritual.
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, she earned a Master's degree in Social Responsibility from Anáhuac University. With over two decades of experience designing community strategies for inclusion and empowerment, her artistic practice reflects a deep ethical and spiritual commitment to transformation—both personal and collective.
Her work has been exhibited in significant cultural venues across Europe and Latin America. Among them are the Museum Europeu d'Art Modern (MEAM) in Barcelona (2024), Museo del Mar in Santa Pola (2024), Museo Navale di Imperia in Liguria (2024), Museo Bellini in Florence (2023), and Palazzo Ducale in Genoa (2023). She was selected for the Biennale of Women in Art at Chelsea Old Town Hall in London (2024), as well as for thematic exhibitions such as Beyond Borders (2024), Onde e Stelle (2024), Tomorrow (2023), and Il Canto delle Sirene (2023), affirming her presence in the international contemporary art dialogue.
Her participation in art fairs and biennales, including the 10th International Contemporary Art Fair in Ankara (2024), Art San Diego and Red Dot Miami (2023), Canvas Venice Art Fair (2023), Cannes Biennale (2022), Hamptons Fine Art Fair (2022), Art 3f Bruxelles (2019), and the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris (2019), underscores her commitment to global cultural exchange and to the resonance of her work across diverse contexts.
In 2023, she was selected for the Creative Studios Residency at Radio28 in Mexico City, where she continued her exploration of the materiality of memory and the ritual dimension of image-making.
Brenda's work invites us to inhabit the space between what is remembered and what is felt. It is a living archive of bodies, textures, and gestures that speak beyond words—where art becomes an act of remembering what cannot be forgotten.
