ABOUT FABIO

 

I am Fabio Guzzano.
My DNA is that of a full-fledged creative. I love seeing things come to life—actually, even before that, I love imagining and dreaming about them. Maybe that’s why I’m fascinated by everything that can be dreamed of. Someone once said, “If you can dream it, you can do it.” Well, I feel very close to that statement.

Over time, I have explored many visual arts: photography, graphic design, video production, and for work, I have combined these passions, making them 100% of my daily life for over 25 years. It’s a love I have never stopped feeling, even when I dedicated myself to other arts, including the white art, for which I have a deep and passionate connection.

Then one day, I found myself decorating my first apartment as a single man after a painful breakup. That was the spark that ignited a new, strong passion: painting. I needed to make my new home feel welcoming without spending too much money, and those white walls weren’t helping! That’s when I started painting, driven by emotions, making sure that each painting was an expression of what I was feeling. Many paintings were born and ended up on my walls, earning admiration from friends and family.

Then came a new love story and another breakup. My karma...
That moment marked a new beginning and gave rise to a new artistic direction: music in art. Many musical icons had inspired me, and just for fun, I decided to bring their portraits to canvas, working with only two colors and using a subtractive technique—starting with dark canvases and adding only light to reveal each face.

One, two, ten, twenty portraits. I had a huge number of 100x100 cm paintings at home and didn’t know where to put them anymore. So, I started looking for a space for them. After more than a year of searching, I finally organized my first solo exhibition, where I could interact with the public and measure the appreciation of those who saw my work.

Several times, I received requests for paintings I had already sold. That’s when I wondered if I could envision my art as canvas prints, allowing me to reach all potential clients with an amazing original copy.

ICONS thus became my first real collection, inspired by musical icons of all time. That’s why it is also the first collection to appear on Fabio Guzzano Art. Now, many other creative challenges are capturing my heart—there are many influences, and I can’t wait to tell this new part of my life through my paintings.

So, this is me, Fabio Guzzano, and what you see are my paintings—but most of all, they are my soul in its purest form.
