Introducing Fernando Loyola |
@fernandoloyol
“I paint with the anxiety of discovering something new. Each brushstroke is marked by the vertiginous progression, the frenzy, and the rush of hundreds of other strokes that follow every decisive action within the painting."
The themes in Fernando’s work revolve around emotional situations and personal memory, often recreating the intensity of experiences through abstract forms and compositions. His works explore the coexistence of density and lightness, opacity and transparency, crafting dreamlike realms where subconscious spiritual inquiries manifest.
Born in 1988 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Fernando currently lives and works in Barcelona. He studied graphic design at the University of Buenos Aires and honed his artistic skills through workshops with notable artists such as Luis Terán, Néstor Barrio, Duilio Pierri, Maggie de Koenigsberg, and Valeria Maggi. He has exhibited in Argentina and Spain, with solo and group exhibitions in Barcelona and Madrid.

Fernando will be featured in A Few Miles Above, a group exhibition opening Friday, February 6. A Few Miles Above will be featuring artworks that approach landscapes, both physical and mental, through a metaphysical lens. Exploring works that confront, internalize, and sublimate landscapes within and without, this collection draws upon the unique interaction of visual perception and its power of influence over mental states of being, memory, and raw emotion. There is, in every artwork in this exhibition, a moment of subversion or disruption, and left is the artists’ translation of what they have seen or felt. The eye guides the mind, and the mind in turn, guides the hand.
