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.

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.
