My evolution in painting is taking me away from external reality to take me to my inner reality. To that individual reality, proper to each one. This evolution has as its initial reference the nature, as can be seen from my first works. A friendly, harmonious, sympathetic and intimate nature that is mutating towards abstraction without losing its character. Because for me painting wants to be the representation of purity, innocence, simplicity. And it is these values that I seek to express in my painting, be it figurative or abstract.
To date, in my work there is no pattern to follow. It is a free work and varied, with multiple registers, techniques and themes. Each work is a new challenge, a new idea, a story to tell. Although, there is a common denominator in my work, which I cannot give up: color. For better or for worse, color has been a constant in my work from the beginning, something innate to it.
The essential premise in my work is freedom. I firmly believe that painting has to be practiced with total freedom, only in this way can one grow and give the best.
Núria Fernández Puig was born in Torrent (Valencia, Spain) in 1972. Drawing and painting have always been a concern for her. She studies Technical Architecture at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, where she graduated in 1997. Since then she works as a liberal professional Technical Architect. In the summer of 1998 she made the first two paintings oil of hers in a self-taught way. But his profession leaves him little time to devote to painting and his production is very scarce until 2012. It was in this year when, due to the critical situation of the construction sector in Spain, he had the time necessary to dedicate to his true vocation. , the painting. Since then she combines her profession of technical architect with pictorial practice. In January 2014, she begins to attend classes at the RoMarAlArt Academy of Fine Arts in Torrent (Valencia). In September 2014, she began her study of Fine Arts at the Polytechnic University of Valencia where she graduated in 2020.
Her pictorial work is varied and free, it cannot be pigeonholed. Her first works are figurative, but an expressive intention towards abstraction emerges from her pictorial evolution. Her main influence the nature that unfolds around the color with total freedom. These are to date the three constant attributes in Núria Fernández’s work: nature, color, and freedom.
