Yennit Hernández Carrillo is a visual artist whose work explores the inner movement of emotions through color, texture, and matter. Her practice spans painting, sculpture, and spatial interventions, conceiving of art as an emotional and sensory experience that transcends mere decoration.
Trained in Cuba, where she began her artistic studies at a young age and later specialized in Industrial Design with an emphasis on Interior Design, she developed a professional career marked by the creation of spaces where art and experience coexisted seamlessly. During this period, she founded galleries and carried out projects that integrated art, design, and environment into a single expressive language.
Since settling in the United States in 2021, her work has evolved toward a deeper investigation of matter and volume. She currently works with cold-set ceramic clay, acrylic, and epoxy resin, resulting in three-dimensional surfaces where forms emerge from the canvas and establish a direct relationship with the viewer. Ceramic sculpture remains a fundamental aspect of her work.
