A central deep, organic form references the flowers, seeds and plants of the Mexican homeland of artist Berenice Hernandez in Forma Y Espacio 06. Created as part of a series of work that are deliberately simple, humble and calming, this particular composition is ambiguous in nature yet references nature through its organic form and the combination of paint on canvas and raw cotton fabric.
Located between the cooler mountains and suffocating desert heat of Monterrey in the north of Mexico, the studio of Berenice Hernandez takes inspiration from her surroundings to produce artwork with vibrancy and colour. With a background in art direction and graphic design, she combines her knowledge with subjects taken from her Mexican heritage. Botany contributes the focus of her work, brought to life through a mix of illustration, engraving, painting and textile techniques. The result is abstracted, bold plants and flowers, presented with a graphic touch.
