Fernando Cometto, a contemporary Argentinian painter, embarked on his artistic journey with his initial landing in Spain, where he continued to refine and expand his distinctive pictorial language, often utilizing recycled materials in his creations. In the intimate space in front of the canvas, time becomes elusive for Fernando as he immerses himself in the act of transcribing the countless narratives that unfold before him. His paintings are a testament to the ceaseless dialogue, introspection, and exploration of the multitude of "selves" that inhabit his artistic universe - entities that travel, laugh, think, cry, and engage in an eternal dance on the canvas.

From his roots in Argentina to his artistic endeavors in Spain and ultimately settling in Bordeaux, Fernando Cometto's work undergoes a transformative evolution influenced by the diverse cities he encounters. Acting as a bridge between two continents, South America and Europe, his art weaves a narrative thread connecting these worlds, with subjects that continually morph and transform. The artist's imaginative mind traverses a rich tapestry of themes, from depictions of men, dogs, planes, and cows to explorations of humor, social criticism, reality, and fantastical realms. In Fernando's paintings, the rational universe loses its grip, providing a playground for the painter's unrestrained fantasy.

Fernando Cometto views painting not only as a creative outlet but also as a deeply personal journey of self-discovery - an avenue through which he expresses his desires and contradictions, always intricately entwined with the surrounding world. His art serves as a reflection of the ever-shifting landscapes of his own psyche and the world he inhabits.

Participating in numerous exhibitions and finding a place in private collections across Europe, South America, the United States, South Korea, and Australia, Fernando Cometto's work transcends borders, resonating with audiences across the globe. Through his vibrant and evocative canvases, he invites viewers to explore the dynamic interplay between imagination and reality, creating a visual language that speaks to the universal threads that connect us all.
