Alicia Hernández (1945-2012) and Ricardo Fernández (1947-2006) are two Argentine artists.
As a merging couple, they devote their lives to artistic exploration.
After their studies in Buenos Aires, in architecture and the fine arts, they settled permanently in Paris in 1985.
Their joint work is rooted in concrete art and geometric abstraction.
The name “Hernandez-Fernandez” represents the synthesis of their two sensibilities.
However, it is impossible to precisely separate each one’s contribution.
Both have also developed individual artistic production.
Their approach seeks an absolute balance between forms, lines, and colors.
They are influenced by Mondrian, Malevich, and Marcel Duchamp.
Their art is also marked by Donald Judd and Sol LeWitt.
For them, color is not merely a decorative element: it constitutes the work.
They explore pigment density and the purity of monochrome color.
Their compositions use simple, repeated, and sometimes asymmetric shapes.
The intervals between elements create a rhythm close to music.
Their training as architects leads them to work with volume and space.
Their painting evolves toward sculpture, performance, and participatory installation.
The spiral and the ellipse express movement, time, and the idea of infinity.
In 1982, they founded the association Repères to promote geometric art.
Their work invites us to observe space and to feel freedom through art.
