About the Artist 

Gustavo Fernandez (b. 1973, Latin America) is an expressionist/colorist now based in NYC. He describes his body of works as an explosion of color and texture. His abstract work is a product of a long period of development and evolvement of intense thoughts based on his 25 years of experience as a visual artist. Fernandez defines his work as a devotion to inner beauty, emotions expressed in colors, the fervor of spirit, and a spiritual desire for inner necessity. He defines himself as an artwork that never ends. He has previously shown his work around the world including Latin America, Miami, NYC, Spain, Seoul, and Beijing.
