Introducing “Nido”, a birds nest watercolour painting by Ana Elena Fernández.
Fernández reflects a contemplative view of the country’s natural terrain. A member of the esteemed Costa Rican Association of Watercolor Artists, Fernández works within a well-established tradition, using the medium to portray the overlooked details of everyday surroundings.
Her subject matter ranges from familial scenes to elements found along the Pacific coast—bird nests, driftwood, and foliage rendered with precision and restraint. Here, Fernández creates a birds nest watercolour to focus our attention on the fragile, unassuming natural forms that we rarely see at close range. Fernández approaches these themes with quiet observation, often drawing from personal experience and close study of the environment around her.
Light plays a central role in her compositions. In many of her works, the atmosphere of Costa Rica’s humid climate is suggested through subtle tonal shifts, particularly the greenish cast that occurs under dense foliage or over water. This sensibility extends to her treatment of local rivers and coastal scenes, which are rendered with a subdued palette and an attentiveness to texture and form.
