Joana Bernd (*1994) is a contemporary interdisciplinary artist whose work spans painting, installation, and video art. Bernd's artistic practice is deeply informed by her exploration of the human condition, particularly the nuances of vulnerability and the symbolism of dreams and otherworlds. Her work is a celebration of the "tender heart," a metaphor she employs to delve into the complexities of emotional openness and the courage it takes to remain receptive and compassionate in a world that often values hardness and stoicism. Joana Bernd's work gained recognition through exhibitions in shows across Europe, such as Hamburg, Berlin, Barcelona, and London
