A propos de son travail Fernanda Gomes écrit :
« Peinture, sculpture, architecture. Tradition de ruptures. La pensée est plastique. Plans de reflexion, avec multiples significations. Autant de questions sont au coeur de cette investigation, lumière!, couleur : blanc. Ligne, plan, volume, espace. Simplicité. Activer les sens. Détachements, déplacements, aussi dans l'imagination. Peinture et sculpture articulent un espace total et une autonomie. Perspectives révélées par le mouvement du spectateur. Inclure le paysage du monde. Jouer librement avec les choses, parce qu'elles sont avant tout des choses. Laisser derrière le verbe, avec rigueur et émotion ».
In the words of the artist herself, "Painting, sculpture, architecture. Tradition of ruptures. Thought is plastic. Reflexion dimensions, with multiple meanings. So many questions at the core of this investigation, light!, colour: white. Line, plane, volume, space. Simple. Activate the senses. Detachments, displacements, also in imagination. Painting and sculpture articulate a total space, and autonomy. Perspectives revealed in the movement by the beholder. Include the world's landscape. Play freely with things, because they are, after all, things. Leave behind the verb, with rigour and emotion".
