Patrick Fernandez
Patrick Fernandez moved from the Philippines to Canada two years ago. This fall, he showcased his exhibit HOME at The Junction in Regina.
An artist from the Philippines, Fernandez has been a painter for 14 years. He moved to Canada two years ago — away from a career as a full-time artist and away from his home.
“I had this feeling of disconnect,” he said. “I felt like being away from home was so hard and I felt homesick most of the time. That’s when the inspiration came, doing the show which I titled HOME.”
His exhibit opened Sept. 9 at The Junction — a community-focused creative space that offers hair styling services, massage therapy and showcases local artists, musicians, photographers and designers.
The art attempts to address issues of homelessness and show that inspiration can be found amongst the struggle to find a place to call home.
