NADA Miami | Projects – Booth D103 | Miami, FL

We present works by Miami-based artist Gonzalo Hernández, whose practice uses repetition, coded text, and the materiality of fibers and paint to frame intimate experiences within wider social pressures. Transforming modest objects and linguistic fragments into symbolic propositions, his pieces reflect on mobility, class, and the emotional terrain of striving, inviting viewers to reconsider the narratives that shape value.

Through strategies of appropriation, Hernández draws from figures such as Ana Mendieta, Félix González-Torres, and David Wojnarowicz, constructing a conceptual lineage into which he consciously inserts himself. By reactivating their visual and ideological vocabularies while embedding his own biography, he proposes a universe where painting and textile become sites of both inheritance and self-inscription. In this gesture, the artist positions his lived experience as part of an expanded art historical dialogue, one that reimagines belonging through material and conceptual precision.

📎 About Gonzalo Hernández

(b. 1991, Lima, Peru; lives and works in Miami, FL)
Gonzalo Hernández’s practice moves fluidly between the personal and the structural, blurring the boundaries between art and everyday life. Grounded in textile processes, painting, and installation, his work examines the intertwined conditions of labor, migration, ambition, and the often-fragile criteria through which value and recognition are assigned in the art world.
Hernández draws from moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed—shifts in language,
repetitive gestures, found materials, or traces of bureaucratic processes—and amplifies them into forms that reveal how identity and aspiration are shaped by larger social and economic forces.
