GLORIA, THE LATIN WORD FOR GLORY.

Gloria Hernando is a Dominican-American multidisciplinary creative based in Miami. Her practice intersects art, design, and storytelling with an aim at exploring the sacred relationship between humanity and the natural world. In her darkest moments, she adopted the archetype Bull as a beacon of strength and hope to overcome challenges she faced at the time. Over the years, the Bull transformed into the emblem of her brand and artistic voice. Her craft is rooted in experimentation and encompasses diverse forms such as paintings, drawings, sculptures, objects, space design, and media.

Art and design are tools I use to excavate the buried truths and treasures of life - all of which are found in the intersection between spirituality and nature. The goal is that this artistic process ignites a sense of empowerment and curiosity within others.”

Gloria is a self-taught artist that studied Architecture at the University of Miami, was awarded a Bachelor Degree in Interior Design at the University of Florida, and attended the Parsons School of Design Architecture Intensive in Paris, France. She became an independent creative in 2018, opening the first Latin for Glory studio. Solo exhibitions include Seven Fires and Let There Be Light in the Miami Design District. The most recent exhibition, Terra Mater: Burn to Bloom was presented in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Gloria was a selected artist for Urbanism Summit’s Impermanence, Artefacto’s Tappo Arts benefiting Baptist Health Cancer Institute, as well as Miami Marine Stadium’s If Seats Could Talk. Her work has been exhibited in various group shows including Aqua Art Miami, the KIPS Bay Decorator Showhouse, Wirtz Gallery of South Miami, and the Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series at N’namdi Gallery.
