Fabian was named as official artist to the 2010 Latin Grammy Awards and the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. He has also been acknowledged in his homeland of Argentina with a rare government funded public exhibition for the nation - a huge tribute to an internationally acclaimed fine artist who has brought credit to his country. He is now one of the world’s most collected artists, with celebrity admirers ranging from sporting superstars including Sugar Ray Leonard, Shaquille O’Neal and Lionel Messi, to musicians Scott Weiland, Rihanna, Shakira and Phil Campbell, comedian John Bishop, actors Micky Rourke, Mario Lopez and Megan Fox, singer song writer Juan Gabriel, President of the Latin Grammy Awards Gabriel Abora, President of the American Grammy Awards Neil Portnow; he was a guest at the Vatican where he presented Pope Francis with his portrait which now hangs in the Pontiff’s personal private collection. As one of the foremost figurative artists of our time Fabian has become an exceptional global entity. Over the years he has explored many different paths in his search for greater self expression and artistic truth and his work brings together a broad range of life stories drawn from many sources close to his heart. From the geisha of Japan’s flower towns to the couples who haunt the night clubs of Buenos Aires, all these characters have a story to tell of their disparate and intriguing lives.
