Fernanda Gutiérrez Chilean, b. 1973
Her most recurring themes are education, self-esteem, and social judgment. Fernanda works from the experience she gained under a repressive upbringing and education; she critically highlights the frustrations of social and religious rules.
Fernanda Gutiérrez holds a degree in Art and Contemporary Culture from the University of Desarrollo (Santiago, Chile). She completed a diploma in printmaking with artist Francisco Copello at the same university and pursued studies in Painting and Experimental Sculpture at San Diego State University (California, United States).
She has exhibited her work in venues such as the Museum of Contemporary Art in Valdivia (Valdivia, Chile), the Museum of Contemporary Art Quinta Normal (Santiago, Chile), the Gabriela Mistral Cultural Center (Santiago, Chile), San Diego State University (California, United States), Espacio O Gallery (Santiago, Chile), and La Sala Gallery, among others.
Fernanda is a member of the Hipermercado Casino art collective, founded in 2013 alongside artists Florencia Serrano and Daniela Claro.
The artist lives and works in Santiago, Chile.

My work is largely autobiographical and is a product of the repressive education I received based on tradition and religion.
This education, which I refer to as "deformation," generated feelings of powerlessness and frustration in me. Gradually, powerlessness turned into fear. Fear turned into submission. I accepted that social and religious rules would protect me from myself, from my desires, and from my humanity.
I work with various disciplines such as installation, intervened objects, sculpture, photography, and performance.
