art critics by The Noise

by The Noise

A somewhat mocking work relating to virtual art critics. In this case, they are humanoids, but they can personify, for example, people who express themselves about works of art on the Internet, who do not have an idea about art. As this is a common problem faced by contemporary artists, Fernández took up the subject. The works that are criticized by the humanoids in the painting are the artist’s works. It also deepens the dimension of the work by the artist’s self-reflection. This shows not only the phenomenon of comments on the Internet, but also how often they do not matter – these people are avatars, humanoids, all the same, and their voice is not a voice that will break through. The artist is aware of this and he perfectly portrays this phenomenon through digital work.

painter / digital artist

In 1994 he obtained a BA in Painting from the University of Barcelona. In the years 2000-2009 he was a member of the Cercle Artístic de Sant Lluc. After over forty individual and collective exhibitions and several international awards, in 2009 and to date, he works in his studio in the center of Barcelona, where he continues his painting career and carries out commissioned works. Currently, he is particularly interested in the digital world in art. Since 2021, he has been developing a new creative line, in which, through Virtual Reality and Digital Art, he creates scenes in which humanoid viewers often appear.

His art is distinguished by an interesting look at the human condition, robotization and virtualization of the world. Many of his works refer to the aesthetics of the Internet and virtual realities. He often uses strong, neon, bright colors to emphasize this reference. His works also takes on a meta character, showing the connection between the physical and virtual world.
