Artist in Residence: Fernanda Martinez

Mago is so excited to welcome local artist Fernanda Martinez artist in residence from October to January.

Fernanda Martinez is a painter and muralist originally from Mexico City, currently based in Oakland, California. Her work draws from memories and observations of the natural world, combining experimentation and intuition to explore the emotional dimensions of color and form. Through her work, she invites the viewer on a visual and mental journey that prompts reflection on the fleeting nature of life.

She moved to the Bay Area in 2015, where she has presented work in both solo and group exhibitions, most notably the "DeYoung Open Exhibition 2023" in San Francisco.

She has created public art projects and murals for commercial spaces and companies including Meta, Google, Unity, and Sweetgreen, and has collaborated on numerous artistic projects with organizations that provide dignified housing for low-income individuals. She has also led visual projects and community initiatives that benefit underserved communities.

Fernanda's work can be seen in a variety of public and private spaces, including galleries in California and New York.
