To paint the invisible, to transpose its emotions and its states of mind onto canvas.

Painting the invisible
Emotion and its difficult representation are the starting point of the practice of the artist of Portuguese origin, Fernando Ferreira. Life is the source of his work, light is his favorite color.

"He is fond of nocturnal atmospheres and works to make us feel the shivering darkness under the vault of tars and deep blue-nights," wrote Jean-Louis Avril in October 2014 in the magazine Univers des Arts. A whole world of sensations then.

Fernando lends a modern interpretation to the classical style of the Chiaroscuro, and to do so he mainly uses oil painting to rewrite the nocturnal atmospheres, the ambiance of a bar and the portraits of musicians, but also that of mechanical workshops, cars, trains and public transportation. He is an admirer of exploits and technical developments, but he adds great sensitivity and a strong softness with which to appropriate the modernity of the urban world.

Fernando Ferreira tells us each story under the light of his emotions and develops painting described as "post impressionist romantic," in a spirit of variations and metamorphoses.
