ON VIEW

The contoured edges of Teresita Fernández’s Portrait (Blind Water) are precision-cut from mirror-polished stainless steel, reflecting the patterned curves of a waterfall. This piece is part of a series of wall works that reinterpret elements of the landscape into sensual and evocative forms that engage with illusion and perceptual play. Portrait (Blind Water) blurs the boundaries between the outside and the inside, as well as between the real and imagined. Behind its soft edges and layered reflections, a blue haze is projected onto the wall in a choreographed illusion. This effect gives us, the viewers, a fleeting opportunity to see beyond our reflections into an envisioned landscape. 

Through her sculptures, Fernández engages with space, light, and perception while examining the cultural construction of nature. Her referential forms are marked by a skillful transformation of everyday materials into striking, cinematic illusions. With minimal means, she weaves together abstraction, reflection, and transparency—creating powerful compositions that invite projection, play, and shifting ways of seeing.
