The Artistic Journey of Renata Fernandez
Renata Fernandez was born in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1971 and has been based in London since 2003. Her educational background includes Fine Arts from IUESAPAR (1991-96), Social Sciences and Media Studies from UCAB (1988-1993), and Drama and Set Design from AGO TEATRO (1990-95) in Caracas, Venezuela. She also completed a Professional Practice course at the Contemporary Art Academy (Xavier Ellis & Mathew Gibson’s educational project) from 2022-2023. Her work delves into themes of immigration, territory, identity, and displacement, using these societal issues as potent sources of inspiration and contemplation. Through a multidisciplinary and self-referential approach, Fernandez weaves together a reconstructed memory of landscapes and inhabited spaces, employing a static narrative where monster-like plants and outdoor furniture act as signifiers.
