Biography

Hi Everyone...You're Welcome to my Website:I am EFernandes, and I am here to get YOU into the World of Colours! Who's EFernandes?Recently juried by Sooke Fine Arts Show 2011 and accepted to the exhibition at Seaparc Leisure Complex in Sooke, BC.EFernandes has been living in Victoria, BC, Canada since 2001. He has a scientific background, specifically in Biomedicine. However he became enthusiastic about Visual Arts and decided to explore and develop his creative side through painting.He has learned how to work judiciously as taught by his Visual Arts private instructors. To date (within the last 10 years) EFernandes has completed nearly 100 oils on canvases on different subjects. EFernandes is constantly challenged by his desire for simplicity in his work. He does not start a painting with a preconceived idea; however, he lets himself be led by his inspirations and lets the work progress naturally. Paint is just paint. Error does not exist.Painting connects EFernandes to the world of colours allowing him to express his loose painting style freely. He works primarily in oils, both canvases and wood panels. The work is rich in colours, and textures, with hues emanating from multiple layers of paint. He concentrates on getting into a state of readiness, creating and conceptualizing the colours and brushstrokes needed to execute his work by setting up the desired variety of materials, which occur within a state of mind, during which time the artist is oblivious to what is being created. EFernandes passion is to create paintings for the enjoyment of others and himself. A Meaningful Quote:"The Future Belongs to Those Who Believe in the Beauty of Their Dreams" - Eleanor Roosevelt A Tribute to the Artist: "I believe in your talent, and I feel your presence in each and every painting you achieve, because you don't just paint to paint, but you get ready to paint by committing yourself completely through spiritual beauty and aestheticism, intellectual fervor, and humanity. Therefore, looking at every painting, everyone who wishes can be transported by the harmony of colours and the humane dimension of the composition, enter your world and receive your positive message. Your paintings are attractive to our eyes and delicate to our spirit... If we just take a little more time and forget about everything else around us they can be cherished by our soul The ultimate achievement is to let go and share it all. This is what I am always able to do, this is the reason why I admire you and love you as an artist." - by E. Bordes

What is my Style?

“I am a contemporary painter and visual artist and I have always been interested in lines and curves in movement. My early works were mostly oils on canvas showing landscapes and bodies. People tell me I am a caring, sensitive and emotional person, always interested in being creative in simplicity, sometimes naïveness. What I like most is to express myself through a very subjective, personal and spontaneous style… And I always dedicate my inspiration and my creation to art lovers. The following paintings you can see here show you different aspects of my work, yet utilizing a unique style. I have always been a dynamic person; when I was a child, I enjoyed changing objects into movement. At that time, I used to make toys by myself, and have fun with them…At college I went on creating and surprising people around me … Later, at work, I have always been appreciated as a dynamic scientist in constant evolution, working in a continuously moving world… Today as a painter, I use lines and curves in movement in my work and I really enjoy causing surprise with them and please the observer's eyes. In addition to this I play with contrasts and colours and invite the viewer to feel the painting as a whole and enter my World of Colours… Lines create movement and make an exciting composition. The final result itself is a surprise. It is all about creativity, intuitions and feelings… It is all about inner peace. It is sometimes about life and all the changes within it. Lines merge, join and sometimes they stand alone – It is life, it is existence, it is science and it is passion! I love all the spaces that I can explore and where I can find out an unexpected presence – mineral, vegetal or human - I conquer it passionately, and give life to it.Lines also have a meaning: they can be fragility and flexibility, or stability and solidity… Lines in movement cause emotion, and lead to actions…This is when I start painting my vision, again and again, line after line! “ E. Fernandes Here I share with you a quoteI love:“Art consists of bringing something into existence” - Aristotle

EFernandes' paintings depict his artistic skills of transforming his own ideas, conceptions and photographs into his unique, subjective vision. Colour is important to him and he uses it in unexpected ways. From his initial subjective vision, he manipulates the colours and the forms digitally or directly on the canvas, then he begins to paint his vision. During this painting process, the transformation continues until a desired result is reached.

Mystic Sunset

BLUE MANGOES Commentary As a child in Brazil I remember playing under the mango trees. Life was simple and this painting shows simplicity in its composition and colour palette.This painting is about contrasts. The soft smoothness of the far horizon plays against the strong, solid, highly textured mangoes. There is impact in the play against the light background and dark blue mangoes themselves. The imaginative colours bear no reference to the real world, but the surprise is evocative.Is the distant horizon evocative of the past, or the future?
OCEANO DIES Commentary:This painting was done during a challenging period in my life. I needed to feel confident and hopeful while navigating changes and the unknown future.Water, to me, seems to wash away the negative, refreshes the soul, and renews the strength to persevere despite setbacks.The textures in this painting play against the smoothness; this results in a balance, not unlike that between lifes troubled waters and its quieter times. The misty background denotes the unknown, unformed, while the mysterious depths serve as a counterpoint to the calm backwash in the immediate foreground. In the colours and the paradox I find peace and strength within an ever changing world.
MYSTIC SUNSET - CommentaryMystic sunset offers the viewer unlimited space and unrestrained time. You are free to place yourself in relation with it and go wherever you like. Then soon you will like wherever you go, whether you choose the freshness of the waves in blue or the warmth of the air in red. Whatever your eyes focus on, you will feel harmony with the elements and let go. And when you look up to the horizon, you will find Truth .The less said the better
