Fernanda Cataldo

I grew up in Santiago de Chile, observing the wonderful landscapes in the south of my country. My inspiration comes from common places and situations, fleeting moments, nature, impressionism... and contemporary artists such as P. Doig, A.Ghenie, A.Kanevsky. I hope that viewers will see their own stories in my work and maybe remember something they had forgotten.


I was voted Chilean Artist of the Year in 2022, which was a great honour.


My works are mainly figurative, exploring colour relations by adding layers and layers onto my compositions. I grow from trying the unconventional way. My toy box has many mediums, from traditional pencils to acrylics in spray. I enjoy experimenting, mixing up, so finally you can't really tell how the work was painted.


Today I am a full time painter based in Chile, open to projects and commissions.
