“Bright colour wrapped around a cynical, tender outlook on life”
Bea Fernandez is a visual artist based in Manila. Since 2018 she has been studying for a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting at the University of the Philippines Diliman.
Her art explores femininity and the human psyche, where collective experience and personal insight share the same space. A dichotomy of optimism and pessimism recurs throughout: she enjoys painting with a bright-coloured palette to juxtapose her cynical conceptions of life — conceptions driven largely by emotional instability, intrusive thoughts, trauma and self-sabotaging habits.
