Brenda R. Fernández is a Mexican–Spanish visual artist working within the expanded field of painting. Her practice investigates how pictorial support can be transformed into a structural and spatial system through processes of cutting, tension, fragmentation, and material reconfiguration. Working primarily with textile-based materials, she develops spatial configurations that exist between painting, installation, and corporeal construction.

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 earned a Master's degree in Social Responsibility from Anáhuac University. Alongside her artistic practice, she has developed over two decades of experience designing community-based strategies focused on social inclusion and territorial development.

Her work has been presented in museums, cultural institutions, and curated exhibitions across Europe and Latin America, including Museum Europeu d'Art Modern (MEAM), Barcelona (2024); Museo Navale di Imperia, Liguria (2024); Museo del Mar, Santa Pola (2024); Museo Bellini, Florence (2023); Palazzo Ducale, Genoa (2023); and the Biennale of Women in Art at Chelsea Old Town Hall, London (2024).

In 2023, she was selected for the Creative Studios Residency at Radio28 in Mexico City, where she further developed her research into material behavior, structural tension, and spatial painting practices.

Recent research focuses on textile transformation and the persistence of matter, exploring how memory, presence, and human experience remain embedded within material structures. Through expanded painting, textile configurations, and spatial constructions, painting becomes a site where matter acquires corporeal presence and where the boundaries between surface, body, and space remain open.
