BIOGRAPHY

Fernanda Rodante was born

on the 27th of September 1975

in São Paulo, Brazil.
She began to paint at the age of 21,

during the psychology university.

In the same month she graduated,

she held her first individual exhibition.
The success of that exhibition changed her destiny forever.
After a year of solitary painting,

she sought out her first teacher,

the Argentine João Carlos Pensa,
with whom she studied for three years

and deepened her knowledge of realistic painting.
Her second teacher was Jorge Branco,

with whom she studied for a year
and deepened her knowledge of expressionist art.
The third teacher, with whom she studied for two years,

was Chen Kong FANG, a Chinese grandmaster based in Brazil.

With him Fernanda found her brushstroke, her painting style

that accompanies her to this day.

According to Chen Kong FANG:

“Fernanda Rodante is one of the most authentic artists of the new generation in Brazil, as she has a constant doctrine, a unique imagination and an unusual talent.

Always firm in her language, she presents a serenity in her works that is essential for these troubled times.”

According to Emanuel von Lauenstein Massarani:

"Without renouncing figurative and drawing principles, Fernanda Rodante's painting opens up to a broad sense of breath, not only in terms of conception but also in the richness of light, the layering of colors, the plasticity of rhythm, and above all, a completely modern skill in compositions and overlays. The material in her works contributes to the overall effect, giving the whole a particular value. They are landscapes, figures, and still lifes where color, blended into the material, also achieves intense and precious gradients."
