Fabian Perez is Argentinean, and was born in Buenos Aires in 1967. He was raised by his father, who led a rather eccentric and nonconformist existence, running illegal nightclubs and bordellos. Fabian Perez was exposed to a large number of fascinating individuals, and as he grew up, he began to capture these people in portraits. His abilities were evident from this very young age, as he painted with fantastic acuity. Wanting to see the world, Fabian Perez left home at the age of 22, where he traveled to Europe and the Far East and picked up a multitude of inspiration, before moving to Los Angeles. Fabian’s work began to be admired and purchased, and he was soon snapped up with a publishing contract which made him into a world wide star.
Fabian Perez’s carefully rendered oils show a depth of image and character that is both unusual and visually stunning. The figures are haunting, emotional and often reminiscent of a bygone era – although Perez is careful to introduce contemporary elements to his paintings. Painting closely with a great amount of detail and captivating charm, Perez chooses subjects that are enchanting – whether male or female. His paintings tell a story; it is up to his viewer to interpret that story as their mind sees best. Fans of Fabian Perez’s work will often comment that is Perez’s uncanny ability to capture a fleeting emotional expression; a casual gesture – that draws them into his work. Fabian Perez also considers his music and his philosophical views to be central to his life; these other arts feed his artistic talent, and constantly provide him with ideas and purpose as a painter.
