Yaiza Hernández Biography

An up-and-coming Spanish artist, Yaiza Hernandez paints with oil on canvas. Her work approaches the Pop aesthetic, but seen through a slightly different lens. Full of dynamism, bright color, and sharp lines, her paintings depict everyday household spaces: bathrooms, kitchens, sinks and showers, in startlingly innovative ways.

Hernandez studied at the Fernando Estévez School of Art, and has a degree in Fine Arts from the Univerisy of Laguna in Tenerife, Spain.
