Pascual Fernández Candel (Murcia, 1999) is a transdisciplinary artist with a degree in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid. Since 2022 he has been developing his artistic practice between Berlin and Murcia. Through installation, sculpture, photography and performance, he generates scenarios where his research questions the temporal and affective dynamics in the relationships between humans and non-humans. His interest focuses on altering, speculating and re-imagining our experiences through the transformation and creation of sculptural pieces, in order to generate new interpretations and meanings. From this sphere of action, he explores new ways of combining art and technology through the use and critical perception of his pieces and invites us to reflect on the mutation of new relational models.
Sculpture plays a fundamental role in his creative approach. He continually seeks formal innovation through various techniques and materials such as ceramics, metal or silicone. These explorations of format in his artistic projects aim to question society's established uses of ‘non-things’ and redefine the human relationship with the physical world.
This interest has led him to develop interdisciplinary projects involving the installation of sculptural works in various spaces throughout Spain and Berlin such as Habitación 34 and Backhaus Project, Platte.Berlin. His work has been recognised with the First International Prize for Contemporary Ceramics Abstracta 2024 (Murcia) and runners-up prizes in the Creamurcia 2023 competition.
