Ana Maria Hernando
: Born 1959
, Buenos Aries, Argentina
: Lives in Boulder, CO
Ana Maria Hernando makes paintings, drawings and prints with a layering of natural and formal elements. Designs taken from the mantillas and mantones worn for church and the festivities of her Spanish background are blended with images of plants and insects. Hernando says these are “reminders of the playfulness of sensuality and spirituality, the fullness and the sparseness, the rules and the inspirations.”
Hernando made her first print at Shark’s Ink in March 2005. The diptych, “Las Aberturas, Los Organos que Esperan”, uses the layerings of her paintings in a form unique to prints. “The layering of flowers, designs, and cut-outs, and the transparencies that happen as a result of printing on the back and the front of the paper, are a metaphor for the transparent actions in life, the weaving of a shape that is not always easy to see.”
Ana Maria Hernando has shown her work in Argentina and the United States. In 2005, she will have a solo exhibition at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, in Colorado. Her work is in private and corporate collections, including The Tweed Museum of Art, Duluth, MN, Fidelity Investments, Boston, MA, Hallmark Corporation, Kansas City, MO and the Fundacion Banco Patricios, in Buenos Aires.
