One of the earlier influences on my art journey is Fabian Perez. What sets this artist apart is his unique fusion of impressionism and expressionism with a distinct romanticism. He has masterfully crafted an artistic voice that resonates with me.
Termed ‘Neo-expressionism,’ Perez’s art is a powerful testament to his focus on capturing the raw essence of human emotion. His works often depict intimate scenes, seductive figures, and moments of profound connection or introspection. His style is characterized by its dynamic brushwork, with loose, fluid strokes that suggest movement and emotion rather than delineating every detail. The emphasis is on the overall impression and atmosphere rather than precise realism.
Perez’s use of light is not just a technique but a crucial element that creates a dramatic mood, enhancing the emotional depth of his art. The stark contrast between the darker background and the illuminated subjects evokes a sense of Film Noir, adding another layer of intrigue to his works.
Summing up, Perez is not just an artist who inspires me, but one who reminds me of the importance of finding my own artistic voice. His art encourages me to create work that truly matters to me, with feelings involved, and to find a voice that is uniquely mine.
