Bernarde V (2018) Painting by Bernarde

Bernarde finds a projection of her emotion in the landscape. The elements present in the paintings combine naturally and result in works with different meanings. The compositions reveal much more than horizons, they reveal the fragility, the strength and the anxiety of the artist. Abstract and realism coexist in harmony and emerge in a dynamic and continuous rhythm. The freedom of the form and color multiplies the possibilities and breaks the limits of the canvas. Flesh tones, on the other hand, refer to the different nuances within the actual color. Within the black, brown, red, yellow or white skin color, there are several subtle combinations, or nuances, that are known as flesh tones. Like the yin and yang philosophy, many colors come together to make one color, and in one color exists many different colors. For example, from a distance we see White complexion, Black complexion, Brown complexion or Red complexion. When we look closer, we start to notice the blues, pinks, yellows, purples and all the subtle nuances ranging from muted to intense mixtures, warm and cool tones. It’s just like looking at a computer image. If you reduce or scale down a picture to a smaller size, the picture will get as fine and detailed as possible. But enlarge it and you will see big squares of pixels.
