Sobre el Artista

Marita Fernández Barragán (*) is a Latin American visual contemporary painter born in the city of Tandil in Argentina. From a very early age her love for arts led her to study, to train herself and -as already an adult- to teach plastic arts to younger people. During her whole career, her artwork of almost 1000 paintings participated in nearly 100 art salons, 40 individual and 25 collective exhibitions, receiving about 40 awards/mentions, and participating in more than 30 international art events in Argentina, Cuba, United Kingdom, Italy, Germany and Spain, as well.
Marita’s artwork is divided into several series or stages in chronological order: Cubism, Caty (life of a prostitute), The Poet, Saint Latin America I, Saint Latin America II, The Black Work -also known as Saint Latin America III-, Labyrinths and Pathways.
Marita always has had very special love and devotion for Latin America, her homeland. For such reason, she has paid a warm tribute to it by fully dedicating three out of her nine paintings series, through which she aims to show the regional indigenous peoples along with their sufferings, passions and efforts to survive into a new and different world.
Marita’s work has remained commercially in secrecy for the last 40 years since she never has been willing to sell it. She always has worked to show her inner feelings by creating art to herself and to her circle of artists and friends. Hundreds of admirers, friends, curators, artists, journalists, galleries owners, and even her own family asked Marita to market her artwork, but she never agreed. Happily -for the art world- it was so until past 2019 when she successfully exhibited in London-UK. After then, in 2020 in Naples & Venice Italy, during 2021 in Munich, Germany and in Madrid, Spain .She also followed the technology updates by doing digital exhibitions during 2022 in Miami and Madrid. By October 2023 she participated as invited artist at the XIV Florence Biennale edition. Currently in 2024 she has exhibited in Barcelona, Spain. Next 2025 she will exhibit during 5 months in Rome.
