Carla Se Fernandes

Carla Se Fernandes, born 1971 in Portugal, is a contemporary artist known for her abstract paintings. Originally a chemical engineer, Fernandes transformed into a full painter recently. With an authentic approach towards her work, she depicts her experiences on large scale colourful abstract paintings. Her works have been collected by buyers across the world, which comprises Argentina, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Jersey, Korea, Lebanon, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Spain, Turkey, and the United States of America. 
Fernandes considers herself a self-taught artist as she has always been enthusiastic about art since a young age. Inspired by her grandfather who was also an artist, she honed her skills at the College of Fine Art of Oporto University, Portugal.
Fernandes gave up her full-time job after the birth of her son and dedicated her free time to painting. Her artworks are synonymous with being intuitive and visceral. She sees her works as happily undefined, including an only narrative of the subconscious process. She excels in the alluring orchestration of a melange of hues. Due to the large scale of her paintings, her pictorial scheme appears to extend beyond our peripheral vision. Colourful patterns advance, recede, undulate and coalesce. Patterns cohabitating in harmony, often superimposed upon the other, the artist brings an extensive mastery of colour theory, innate sense of rhythm, and compositional elements to each painting. 
Carla’s art is a visual poetry bursting forth with relentless energetic expression. With utmost proficiency, she invites us to view the world as a magical, fluid and invigorating panorama. Through her paintings, we experience our universe with an expansive and compelling perspective.
