About Amaya Fernández Fariza

 
 
  • Biography

    New project in development. Contemporary artist.

    She is a Fine Arts graduate from the UPV (University of the Basque Country, Bilbao). Working within contemporary realism, she uses photography as a starting point to construct images in which reality is transformed through colour, composition, and layered visual structures. Her work explores the dissolution between figure, object, and environment, creating evocative and symbolic pictorial spaces.

    She has over 20 years of experience as a Visual Arts teacher.
