Fernandez renews the geometric tradition that emerging Venezuelan artists in the last quarter of the twentieth century inherited, sometimes as a heavy burden. This renewing procedure maintains the geometric language, but with a kind of contextual contamination. Macaw (Guacamaya) makes us think of Mondrian or Oiticica, but it naturalizes the geometry that doubles up to the cry of the iconic American bird. This video affirms her distance from the modern promise that turned geometry into a takeoff platform for utopias, and inserts itself in the present time of those who observe them, in the contemporary city.
