Fátima Fernandes exposed her work at the Venice Biennale in 1996 and at the Milan Triennale in 1997, and has directed the architecture department of the Escola Superior Artística do Porto since 2013. She was born in Bemposta, Mogadouro, in 1961, and studied architecture at the Porto School of Fine Arts from 1979 to 1986. She has worked with the architect Michele Cannatà since 1984; in 2000 they founded Cannatà & Fernandes Arquitectos, with projects in Portugal and Italy. From 1990 to 1992 she directed the technical office of the historic center of Miranda do Douro.

Her work was shown at the Venice Biennale in 1996 and at the Milan Triennale in 1997. Her silkscreen is the only one in the lot that draws a landscape: a valley closed by two slopes, with a zigzag path.
