Artist Profile

Teresita Fernández

Teresita Fernández is a visual artist recognized for her large-scale public sculptures and immersive installations that utilize unconventional materials to explore landscape, visibility, and optical phenomena.

Biography

Born in Miami to Cuban parents, Teresita Fernández is a New York-based artist whose practice centers on the intersection of natural landscapes and human perception. Her work often functions as psychological topography, inviting viewers to engage with spatial and historical awareness through experiential, site-specific installations.

Fernández is noted for her use of diverse materials—ranging from silk and graphite to polished metals—to evoke natural phenomena such as water, land formations, and light. Her sculptures frequently employ optical illusions to challenge how the viewer navigates and interprets their physical environment.

Her work continues to be featured in major institutional surveys, including the 2026 exhibition Future Geographies: Art in the Century of Climate Change at the Vancouver Art Gallery, which examines the role of contemporary art in addressing the global climate crisis.
