Celia
Fernandez is an award-winning artist and frequently represented as a finalist
in prominent Australian art prizes.
She explores the interrelation
between colour and shape to create a visual experience that engages the sight
and emotions of the public via her geometric abstract painting style.
Through
the use of dots, she creates art that communicates a sense of spirituality. As
a result, her paintings usually depict
social emotions and behaviours with the colours representing the diversity of
people’s race, culture, gender, personality, etc.
In Celia’s work you’ll notice the
influence of Bridget Riley's drawing compositions and the obsessive,
repetitious mark-making of Yayoi Kusama. Inspired by her two major influences, she
developed her own original technique.
Her
almost hypnotizing pop pointillism displays intense attention to precision and
detail, playing with the illusion of perfection.
Her
work is experimental, original, intuitive and playful, a delightful
representation of contemporary Art.
