Dominican artist Yubo Fernández has become an ambassador of national art, bringing to international stages a vibrant collection that pays homage to the palmchat, the national bird of the Dominican Republic. Through paintings and sculptures that fuse technique, symbolism, and love for Creole biodiversity, Fernández has captured the attention of the global public.
The collection, which is named “The Palmchat”, is a celebration of the Dominican soul. Inspired by this small endemic bird that inhabits every corner of the country, Fernández uses his art to reflect not only its beauty, but also its significance as a symbol of identity and belonging.
From galleries in Europe to art fairs in Latin America, Korea, and exhibitions in New York, the artist has made the Hispaniolan palm crow an itinerant emblem of the Dominican Republic. Her works not only highlight this emblematic bird, but also portray the richness of the country's flora and fauna, creating a dialogue between nature, art, and the human being that excites and educates.You can also read: Women receive the Abad award, of art and culture
“Each brushstroke and each line in my works carry the echo of the forest, the song of the cigua, the fertile land of my island. It's my way of telling the world that the Dominican Republic, in addition to beautiful beaches, is culture, biodiversity, and creativity”, expressed Fernández during a recent exhibition in New York. With a career marked by his artistic sensibility and his commitment to cultural promotion, Yubo Fernández has been recognized not only as a visual artist, but also as a voice that connects Dominican identity with the rest of the world. His work, which has been acclaimed by critics and collectors, has managed to position the figure of the cigua palmera as a global artistic symbol. The art of Yubo Fernández is, without a doubt, a bridge between nations, a window open to the natural splendor of the Dominican Republic, and a reminder that, even in the smallest flights, there can be greatness.
