Biography
Fernanda Martínez is an Oakland based painter and muralist; In her work, she incorporates nature elements as themes, organic shapes, bold textures, and deconstructed patterns to develop intrinsic narratives. Recently her practice expanded to sculptures, where she experiments with different materials to translate her distinguishable shapes and mastery in color into delightful 3D pieces.
With an experimental and intuitive approach, Fernanda’s pieces are unique statements that represent feelings of connection, expansion, and growth.
