Rita Fernández (b. 1999), is a Mexican artist with a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in Mexico City from which she graduated in 2023.
Her work revolves mainly around self-portraiture and self-representation through a feminist perspective. She conveys these through questioning concepts around ‘feminine beauty’ and the self. These reflections about beauty standards often explore the representation of distorted bodies in order to discuss the discomfort of ‘non-standardly beautiful’ bodies. She frequently uses a first-person perspective and extreme angles to further challenge the conventional figure. Her philosophical formation plays an important role in the way she conceives and approaches the creation of her artwork.
