The collection, which is named \u201cThe Palmchat<\/a><\/strong>\u201d, is a celebration of the Dominican soul.

Her works not only highlight this emblematic bird, but also portray the richness of the country’s flora and fauna, creating a dialogue between nature, art, and the human being that excites and educates.\n\n\n

His work, which has been acclaimed by critics and collectors, has managed to position the figure of the cigua palmera as a global artistic symbol.\n\nThe art of Yubo Fern\u00e1ndez is, without a doubt, a bridge between nations, a window open to the natural splendor of the Dominican Republic, and a reminder that, even in the smallest flights, there can be greatness.\n\n\n
