Fernanz explores the emotional power of abstraction through bold compositions, dynamic strokes, and vibrant chromatic harmonies. His works evoke movement, tension, and introspection in a language that is both visceral and refined.
“Emotion has geometry.” – Fernanz
In Chromatic Rhythms, Fernanz invites us into a world where color, gesture, and emotion converge in a dynamic visual language. Rooted in the traditions of abstract expressionism yet firmly contemporary in his approach, Fernanz treats the canvas as a space for intuitive exploration. His compositions begin with spontaneous strokes—bold, gestural movements that serve as emotional markers—then evolve through layers of color, texture, and balance.
Deeply influenced by music and its ability to express the intangible, Fernanz creates works that function like visual symphonies. Contrast, rhythm, and fluidity drive each painting forward, evoking fleeting sensations—memories, moods, tensions—that bypass verbal explanation but resonate on an emotional level. Titles are intentionally abstract, often numeric, reinforcing the open-ended and experiential nature of his practice.
There is a tactile urgency in his process: paint is layered, scraped, and reworked to capture not just form, but feeling. The results are emotive and immersive, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and connect. His color choices are deliberate and expressive—sometimes harmonious, sometimes disruptive—mirroring the complexity of inner states.
Fernanz is an artist on the rise, gaining increasing recognition for his bold visual language and emotionally charged compositions. Chromatic Rhythms marks a defining moment in his career, positioning him as one of the most compelling voices in the new wave of contemporary abstraction.
The Sound of Color
Music plays an active role in his studio—its rhythm, tone, and lyrics influencing the pace and energy of each painting. At times, handwritten song lyrics surface on the canvas itself, they are part of the language of the work, an extension of the same impulse that drives the gesture.
Fernanz paints with urgency, often completing a piece in one session, guided more by instinct than intention. There is no preparatory drawing, no correction—just direct translation from feeling to form.
