Portraits of Living Legends & Personalities
Born in 1967, in the city of Campana, Buenos Aires, in Argentina. Fabián Pérez is known for his paintings of tango, flamenco dancers and nightclub life, as well as for portraits of celebrities, sportsmen, dignitaries, musicians and personalities, has gained international attention and praise.
From a very young age, he started expressing himself through visual arts-drawing, but it was the loss of his parents at an early age that provided the momentum in Fabian's search for maturity in his artistic direction.
An ongoing journey of self-discovery began as the mental and physical disciplines gained through exceptional karate skills.
As a result, he began harnessing his sensory intuition and instincts, drawing even more deeply on the experiences of his childhood as he painted; channelling the warmth and humanity of those insights, relationships and situations on to each exquisite canvas.
At 16, Fabian decided to leave Argentina, and travelled different countries, opening up his channels of creativity. Spending time in Rio de Janeiro, then the Mediterranean for seven years, Japan for a year, and he finally arrived in Los Angeles in 1997 and began balancing the simple duties with work, life model and working hand at Universal Studios during the day, with a dedication to realizing his artistic flair each night.
This, he considers to be the most creative period of his life to date. Fabian's international status was confirmed with his appointment as the official artist to the 2010 Latin Grammy Awards, and as one of the official artists for both the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and the London 2012 Olympics.
With a rare, government-funded public exhibition for the nation, he has also been acknowledged in Argentina as an internationally acclaimed fine artist who has brought credit to his country, a huge tribute.
Fabian still lives in Los Angeles, California, with his wife and kids.

"Fabián Pérez is a contemporary artist to leave his footprints in his own lifetime, like few artists in the world."
(Carmela Russo - President of the Academy of Italian Artists)
"I HAVE MET MANY ARTISTS IN MY TRAVELS, AND I HAVE MANY ARTISTS FROM THE OLD MASTERS THAT I ADMIRE. HOWEVER, I HAVE TO HONESTLY SAY THAT I HAVE NEVER MET IN ONE SINGLE PERSON, THE QUALITIES THAT FABIAN MANIFESTS AS AN ARTIST AND HUMAN BEING, THE ART WORLD IS FULL OF SHARKS, SADLY, IT SEEMS, THAT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY A LOT OF PEOPLE FORGET WHY THEY STARTED THE JOURNEY, THEY FORGET TO LOVE, TO LIVE FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE. BUT FABIAN PEREZ IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF PASSION AND LOVE FOR WHAT HE DOES, AND THAT RESTORES AND HEALS THOSE AROUND HIM."
(ART TOUR INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE - VIVIANA PUELLO - CURATOR - WRITER)
"WE ARE EXCITED TO HAVE AN ARTIST WITH SUCH UNDERSTANDING AND ENTHUSIASM FOR LATIN CULTURE AND ITS MUSIC. FABIAN'S TIMELESS ARTWORK IS FILLED WITH ENERGY AND EMOTION. HIS PIECE BRINGS A HUMAN ELEMENT TO OUR ARTWORK, A FIRST IN LATIN GRAMMY HISTORY, THAT CAPTURES THE EXCITEMENT AND PASSION OF THE PERFORMER. IT IS A PERFECT FIT FOR CELEBRATING 1O YEARS OF THE LATIN GRAMMY AWARDS."
(THE RECORDING ACADEMY - PRESIDENT GABRIEL ABAROA)
"FABIAN PEREZ, AN ARTIST WHO HAS REACHED A GLOBAL LEVEL OF RECOGNITION AND NOW SERVES AS A ROLE MODEL TO GIVE HOPE AND INSPIRATION TO OTHER ARTISTS. ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL AND CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ARTISTS TO HAVE EMERGED FROM ARGENTINA DURING THE LAST DECADES"
(ART & CULTURE - LA NAZIONE)
"I HAVE BEEN DEEPLY PRIVILEGED TO HAVE ENJOYED BOTH A PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP AND A PERSONAL FRIENDSHIP WITH FABIAN FOR MANY YEARS NOW, AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN QUITE CLEAR TO ME THAT HE IS SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. FOR AN INDIVIDUAL TO HAVE ANY ONE OF HIS EXTRAORDINARY ATTRIBUTES, THE RAW ARTISTIC TALENT, THE IMMENSE PERSONAL CHARM, OR THE FASCINATING AND ROMANTIC BACK STORY, WOULD BE ENOUGH TO SET THEM APART, BUT FABIAN COMBINES ALL THREE IN ONE CHARISMATIC AND INCOMPARABLE WHOLE."
(HELEN SWABY - CEO DEMONTFORT FINE ART - UK)
"HIS APPEARANCES NEVER FAIL TO ATTRACT AN AUDIENCE FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, FROM FIRST TIME BUYERS TO SERIOUS INVESTORS, ADORING FANS AND MORE THAN A HANDFUL OF CELEBRITIES. BUT ALTHOUGH HE HAS A FORMIDABLE REPUTATION IN THE ART WORLD, HIS WARM PERSONALITY HAS MADE HIM A GREAT FAVOURITE WITH ART LOVERS, AND HE IS ALWAYS HAPPY TO POSE FOR PHOTOGRAPHS...HE IS A LOVELY GUEST."
(DORSET ECHO NEWS - UK)

Capturing the essence of character in each portrait, provoking a visceral reaction which inspires the viewers, and it has a liberating effect on Fabian himself as an artist.
THE CREATOR AND MASTER OF NEO-EMOTIONALISM
The powerful portraiture of Los Angeles-based artist Fabián Pérez has won international acclaim—and today, he is one of the world's most collected figurative artists.
Capturing the essence of character is perhaps the most challenging aspect of portraiture—yet it's at the heart of each painting and sculpture by Argentinian-born, Los Angeles-based artist Fabian Perez. Each evocative gesture or quirk of expression realised in the artist's signature strokes offers a glimpse into the inner world of the characters he captures, from dancers and couples to circus performers, musicians, and celebrities.
"With every portrait, I paint people's bodies to capture their soul. It is fascinating to see how our bodies react according to the way we think, the way we treat them, and the way they respond to unconscious impulses sent by the brain."
The artist describes this idiosyncratic style as "neo-emotionalism" for the visceral reaction it inspires in viewers and the liberating effect it has on himself as an artist.
Today, he has adapted his work around his family, painting in the mornings and afternoons when the light is at its best. He works in a studio the size of a double garage, simply furnished with an easel, canvases, and a small table overflowing with colored paints and brushes. Artbooks and sculpture casts are piled onto shelves, and his paintings, photographs are displayed alongside work by his children.
"Getting into my studio is like going into a bubble full of energy. When I start, I feel pressure but also enthusiasm for being able to express myself."
While Perez is perhaps best known for his portraits of "living legends"—from Pope Francis to Arnold Schwarznegger—he also takes commissions and has worked on close to 100 personal portraits of people from across the globe in the last two years alone.
"I like to do my own photoshoots to ensure I get the perfect picture with the correct lighting and atmosphere to translate to the canvas. This moment is very important to understand the essence of the client's personality."
