Fernanda Pompermayer (1993) is a transdisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses sculpture, photography, and video. Her work begins with gestures of fragmentation and recomposition, creating sculptures that behave like fictional relics — remnants of imaginary rituals, suspended altars, fragments of a beauty in collapse.
Her practice engages with popular devotional imagery and baroque aesthetics, evoking domestic universes, handcrafted gestures, and excess as a visual language. She appropriates recurring elements from the collective imagination, interweaving them with figures of the unconscious, lucid dreams, and invisible dimensions.
The ceramic collages that compose her sculptures stem from processes that mirror the Earth’s own movements and transformations — the heat of firing, the cooling, the erosion of surfaces, the folding of matter and its potential fissures — redefining materiality through an intuitive and experimental approach. Recurring patterns and forms build a distinct symbolic vocabulary, where delicacy and artifice, excess and silence, coexist in tension.
Fernanda lives and works in São Paulo. She is represented by Luis Maluf Galeria and has participated in exhibitions at institutions and art spaces in Brazil, the United States, and Europe.
