  • «Adrián Fernández: for mirrors and enigmas» by Maikel José Rodríguez Calviño. Narrator, art critic and journalist

    The branch of sculpture responsible for producing religious images for votive, catechetical, processional or liturgical purposes is defined as imagery. This artistic manifestation is closely related to the history of Western culture, since it is in charge of depicting the different Marian and Christological invocations, as well as the saints, martyrs and other theological figures that make up the Christian pantheon. Therefore, it is widely known worldwide and is widespread in all countries of Catholic tradition, including our own.

  • «They look at us when we see: from/to the camera in Adrián Fernández’s photograph» by Antonio Eligio (Tonel). Artist, Art Critic and Curator.

    With "The threshold of uncertainty", Adrian continues the gradual expansion of the space occupied by his work, which, for now, maintains its center in the creation of photographic images. In this space, notions of the history of art, architecture and design converge and mutually enrich each other; particularities of photography as a "portrait of objects" -a path that can sometimes be associated with the commercial, advertising and presentation of a product to the market-; and a precise, highly capable technical display that informs both the conception and the creation, printing and installation of images.

  • «The Image as Epicenter» by Shirley Moreira. Art critic and editor of Artecubano Editions

    Adrián Fernández (La Habana, 1984) is one of those artists of restless intellect. The image is not only visual support for him but becomes alive in each one of his proposals and is the essence of his creative condition. Even surrounded by the most dissimilar environments, Adrián does not feel that everything can be an efficient reason to issue a coherent discourse using photography. He analyzes the environment, the impulses and ideas...

    Since postal services were developed and implemented, nations have used postage stamps as branding tools, often using images chosen to highlight characteristic aspects of the people, the geography, the natural environment, and major historical events. In his photographic work, Adrian Fernandez takes a deep look...

  • «Conceptual Review and Integrity of the Photographic Medium: the Case of Two Latin American Photographers» by Mathieu Corp. Professor of the Sorbonne Nouvelle

    For a long time, the issue of registering reality on the image in photography has hidden behind its nature of evidence, based on the aesthetics of the photographic transparency. Thus, reality was interrogated on the basis of the indicative nature of the photographed objects, without a real conceptualization of the discursive possibilities...

  • «Performing Life» by Cristina Vives. Independent Art Critic and Curator.

    Havana, one of the most photographed cities in the twentieth century, is the scene chosen by Adrián Fernández to develop a socio-aesthetic research from art,, but penetrating certain zones that become a new geography of the city, unknown by the media circles of information and almost untouched until today by photography. The artist lives in Havana, in Nuevo Vedado, one of the several residential quarters distanced from tourist tours and the visual clichés that photography has exalted in the group conscience to define Cuba or recognize “the Cuban”.

  • «Zoom in, Zoom out. The Illusion of Being» by Chrislie Pérez Pérez

    If it were necessary to make generalizations on the work of young creator Adrián Fernández (Havana, 1984), we could say that his modus operandi is characterized by the constant movement, not only of his lens – since in each series he seems to require to continue searching for the expressiveness of the image – but also of his restless intellect. What started as a panoramic view has become a detailed plane, from a standpoint that pretends to permanently examine certain zones of our reality.
