Fabian Perez

Fabian was born in Buenos Aires in 1967 and brought up in the small but dynamic Argentinian city of Campana 50 miles outside the capital.
He has been painting and observing since the age of nine,
producing surprisingly mature portraits of family and friends.
His extraordinary parents played a huge part in his creative development;
his mother was artistic and imaginative, while his father was a fascinating figure
- well known locally both to the people and the police, as a somewhat clandestine character with a hand in various business dealings that operated after dark in the
nightclubs and on the streets of the city.
His father's activities meant that the young Fabian was exposed to an interesting cast of characters, from handsome men who lived their lives on the edge, to women who,
as he himself puts it, "could seduce a man simply by lighting a cigarette". Add to this a world of sultry and glamorous tango dancers, flamenco guitarists and gypsy musicians, and Fabian's stunning paintings fall into context as atmospheric representations of forbidden sensuality and unnamed desires.
Fabian lost his parents will still in his teens and spent some time travelling the world,
before settling in Los Angeles where his outstanding work started to get noticed, the rest is history as they say.
Fabian has gone from strength to strength, and his work is very collectable now.

In addition to sell out World tours, he has been named as official artist to the 2010 Winter Olympcs and the 2012 Olympics as well as the 10th Annual Latin Grammy awards.

Fabian's "Superstar" status has made his work increasingly collectable and his new Limited editions illustrate why he has achieved this extraordinary level of success.

Art Jargon can be very baffling here are a few definitions that can help you, decide the art work most suited to your needs.

Giclées: - Giclée printing has transformed the quality of the Limited Edition Fine Art print market forever. Sophisticated printing and specially tested colourfast inks, quality paper and canvas, this blend of fine art and state of the art technology produces extraordinarily accurate
reproductions.

Original Mixed-Media: - Hand-crafted by the artist using a variety of materials and techniques; each piece is therefore unique.

Hand-Embellishment: - A fine art print is produced and it is placed alongside the original; under the direction of the artist certain elements of the image are then highlighted with hand-applied paints. This is done to bring the piece closer to the depth of the original.

Hand enhancement: - The skilful hand-application of a high quality art varnish brings an added vitality to the finished image with stunning effect.
