Brenda R. Fernández is a Mexican–Spanish visual artist whose work unfolds at the intersection of material memory, consciousness, and transformation. Her practice expands painting into a spatial and experiential language, where image, matter, and gesture converge as a living cartography of embodied experience.
She holds a degree in Arts from the University of the Cloister of Sor Juana and completed studies in 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. Alongside her artistic career, she has accumulated over two decades of experience designing community-based strategies focused on inclusion, social development, and collective empowerment—an ethical framework that informs her artistic approach.
Her work has been exhibited in prominent cultural institutions across Europe and Latin America, including 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), and has participated in curated thematic exhibitions such as Beyond Borders (2024), Onde e Stelle (2024), Tomorrow (2023), and Il Canto delle Sirene (2023).
Her international presence also includes participation in major art fairs and biennales such as 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).
In 2023, she was selected for the Creative Studios Residency at Radio28 in Mexico City, where she deepened her investigation into material processes and the ritual dimension of artistic practice.
Brenda R. Fernández's work functions as a living archive—one that activates memory through matter and invites the viewer into a space where sensation, presence, and resonance unfold beyond language.
