Patrick Fernandez BIOGRAPHY

 

Patrick Fernandez is a contemporary visual artist who lives and works in Regina, Saskatchewan. A native of Pangasinan, Philippines, his colourful paintings use symbolism and reimagined folklore imagery as a means of storytelling. His works are based on personal experiences that deal with displacement and adaptation, using circumstances as turning points for growth. 

By using repeated patterns as a way of expressing displacement, Patrick creates ornate surfaces built up through numerous layers of paint application and then place visual elements juxtaposed with each other to create organized chaos. His imagery aims to stimulate audiences into understanding the socio political issues he integrates into  his works. Through art, his objective is to create new meaning, provoke thought, engage with audiences and encourage dialogue.
