Fernanda Pompermayer (1993) is a visual artist whose practice explores the boundaries between sculpture, painting, photography, and video.

Her research investigates elements of landscape, the symbolic, and the domestic, moving through lucid dreams and invisible dimensions, galaxies, and stars. It also draws on intuitive gestures that emerge from manual processes, in a constant negotiation with matter.

Through the collage of fragments, she creates sculptures that move between the natural and the synthetic, the figurative and the abstract, the sacred and the profane. While evoking the cosmos, her works also speak of intimacy, the body, and ornamentation, inviting the viewer’s gaze to wander between excess and detail.

Her sculptures take the form of ceremonial artifacts, ruins of altars, and fragments of hanging gardens. In them, controlled beauty coexists with imminent collapse: forms that shimmer yet threaten to melt.

The artist has participated in national and international exhibitions, including Ouroboros (PF, Curitiba), MAKERS (Caselli 12, Milan), New Artists (Verso, New York), the exhibition Hansei (反省), held at the Koganecho Area Management Center in Japan, and Vulnerable Shelter at Salon, New York.
