About ana fernandes
I'm born in France in july 1975. I have done my studies in Geneva (Switzerland) and Lyon (France). My "Artist carrier" began in theme parks' Art studios, there I got used to the public and I realised that I needed it to create. Back to France I kept on working with people with different concepts, happenings, shows. The idea of the "Paint'Tube" saw the light of day in 2006 in Lausanne, where I rolled up a sheet of clear plastic measuring 1.75 m by 3 m and had this erected in a public place with me inside it. Passers-by of all ages and types accepted the open invitation to apply colour to the clean surface, producing an intriguing duality between the guiding hand of the professional artist within and the spontaneous amateurs outside. The concept was an instant success and since then I have organised these unique art performances, in a huge spectrum of locations, embracing city streets, the countryside, buildings such as concert halls, and from Casablanca to Paris. Subjects range from a hairy lioness to abstract human faces, continually showing that creativity only has the limits of the space at its disposal.It is always a joy to see what is born of a mixture of boldness and hesitance, particularly to see the smiles looking in at me, whether they are from children or from adults rediscovering the freedom of childlike behaviour. see the link : http://www.anafernandes.net/paint_tube_ana.html
