Artist of the moment…..Fernanda Brunet

 

 

Fernanda Brunet was born in Mexico City, Mexico in the year 1964. Brunet works in a very unique style, painting realism but with a contemporary Pop twist.

The artist paints mainly in acrylics. Brunet is also a sculptor.

I enjoy the artist’s sense of design. The image of the zebra crossing water that looks like a tribute to Japanese Print Master Hirohige.

Brunet is based out of Mexico City, Mexico.
