bernardino

Order in Chaos Bernardino Rozada Fernández (Lieres, in the municipality of Siero/Asturias) is a painter of craft and profound thought, whose work explores the tension between matter and form. His work does not seek mere representation, but rather to capture that instant of balance where pigments organize themselves to rebel against the natural entropy of the universe. Inspired by the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza and the mysticism of Ibn Arabi's unity, Bernardino understands painting as a search for the Unique Substance. For him, each canvas is an experiment where earth, air, and light intertwine, demonstrating that beneath the appearance of chaos lies a fundamental harmony that connects us all. His technical quality and discursive coherence have led him to be selected twice in the prestigious National Painting Competition of Luarca, one of the most established and demanding competitions in the Spanish art scene. This double distinction endorses a career marked by rigor and a personal vision that shuns the ephemeral. From his studio, Bernardino invites the viewer to contemplate the wonder of existence. His work is a reminder that, even in "creative chaos," every atom of color has its necessary place in the Whole.

I am self-taught. My knowledge is based on observation and studio work. I rarely go outside. My studio is my "habitat." I highly value composition and drawing, something to which I dedicate a great deal of time. Harmony is fundamental to the perception of the work.
