🖼️ Brenda R. Fernández is a Mexican–Spanish visual artist whose work unfolds at the intersection of material memory, consciousness, and transformation. Her practice operates within the expanded field of painting, extending into spatial and experiential forms where image, matter, and gesture converge as embodied presence.
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 practice, she has developed over two decades of experience in designing community-based strategies focused on inclusion, social development, and collective empowerment—an ethical dimension that informs her work.
Her work has been exhibited in cultural institutions across Europe and Latin America, including the Museum Europeu d'Art Modern (MEAM), Barcelona (2024); Museo del Mar, Santa Pola (2024); Museo Navale di Imperia, Liguria (2024); Museo Bellini, Florence (2023); and Palazzo Ducale, Genoa (2023). She was selected for the Biennale of Women in Art at Chelsea Old Town Hall, London (2024), and has participated in curated 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 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 Carrousel du Louvre, Paris (2019).
In 2023, she was selected for the Creative Studios Residency at Radio28 in Mexico City, where she further developed her research into material processes and the ritual dimension of artistic practice.
Brenda R. Fernández's work functions as a living archive—activating memory through matter and inviting the viewer into a space where sensation, presence, and resonance unfold beyond language.
