Biography
Fatima Fernandes is a photographic and digital artist born in 1955 in Chimoio, Republic of Mozambique. She earned a law degree from Eduardo Mondlane University. She now lives in Portugal, in the village of Sobrainho dos Gaios.
Although she has no formal art training, Fatima Fernandes has been practicing as a professional artist since 1987. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions and is included in art collections primarily in Southern Africa. . She has participated in events and artistic residencies.
Fatima Fernandes is a collage and mixed media artist whose approach is expressionist and figurative. Gestural marks, drawings and scribbles build many juxtaposed layers that give density to his work.

O Tempo da transiçao
Living in a time of extreme greed, social injustice, corruption and threats of extintion of all living beings at. a planetaty level be it caused by wars or climate change and after giving it much thought I felt compelled to try. to create a series of works in mixed media with the intent of addressing these iniquities. The works are still in a very incipient stage and the image inserted here is just a small fragment of a sketch.
