Jose Fernanda | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Jose Fernanda
  • Netherlands (the)
For as long as she can remember, Jose, a native of Nijmegen (Netherlands), has been fascinated by colours and shapes, and has looked for ways to express this wonder. At 14 she made her first colour circle ""by accident"" and realized she had found her vocation. An alumna (1981 to 1987) of the Fine Arts School in Arnhem, she developed there her love of oil painting, but drawing, as well as all the graphic arts, enabled her over time to express her many talents. Her passion for art is boundless, covering the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, Indian miniatures, Japanese prints and engravings, as well as Egyptian art and contemporary painting including the works of Francis Bacon (1909-1992) and the South African born Dutch visual artist Marlene Dumas (born 1953). She enjoys painting with oil for the beautiful colours but also does etchings and single engravings. She then paints everything by hand. She defines her art as ""colourful"" and especially ""solitary"" because it does not follow any particular trend, but can be found halfway between abstract and the figurative, although José notes that there is something ""narrative"" in her work. Her works have been sold for ten years in her gallery in central Amsterdam, which has earned her recognition in Europe as well as the United States, Russia, the Caribbean and South America. Before that, she exhibited in major cities in the Netherlands: Amsterdam, Utrecht, Haarlem, Arnhem, and Nijmegen. \n Jose is also a writer and her first book was released in early 2014 in Holland. She has also designed illustrations for books. She has not fixed any goals for the coming years, other than continuing to paint ""what happens, happens, and while trying new techniques, new subjects will develop,"" she says, happy in the end with the road already travelled.
