Contemplación reinterprets Fernández Massimi’s archived photographs and memories, depicting the mundane with an almost supernatural quality.
Her work exhibits a respect and idealism for ordinary experiences, exalting them through rich color in an attempt to portray the magical qualities she sees in the everyday.
“The years go by in a frenzy but these people and situations survive when I paint them, becoming an archive for my memories.” —A.F.M.
