Irene Fernández Arcas is an interdisciplinary artist. She creates installations, combining drawings, paintings, photography, texts and performative rituals.
In her work, she explores new conceptions of spirituality, care ad the healing powers of art in relationship with health. Her practice embraces experiments and ongoing research into domestic rituals, self-care, and the process of art making itself. They are an invitation into the present moment and the unfolding of Now. She paints through movement, eroticism, intuition, humor and emotion. Her installations unfold as habitable spaces, built from colourful painted textiles, and objects which are often relicts from the artist’s prior ceremonies or projects. Collected over the years, they build connections with her own history and homeland. What materializes are metaphorical inner gardens that give room for activations, to explore magic and community. A dialogue and a laboratory in motion for exchange. Through collective self-care we transform and reshape.
Irene was born in Granada, Spain. She lives between Berlin and the Mediterranean spanish coast (Granada-Valencia-Mallorca). She studied Journalism in Málaga and Fine Arts in Berlin. Her work has been shown in Spain, Portugal and Germany, and in Berlin most recently at Savvy Contemporary, Venice Biennale, Kunstmuseum Bochum, Galerie Wedding, Kühlhaus Berlin, THE FAIREST - Blake and Vargas Gallery, The Institute of Endotic Research, and Galerie im Turm. She collaborates recently with Collective Disaster, COVEN Berlin, and is represented by The Fairest.
