Antonella Fabiani

Antonella Fabiani was born in Viareggio in 1959, but has lived in Firenze for as long as she can remember, and it is there that she trained as an artist. After graduating from the Liceo Artistico, she pursued the study of restoration, a discipline she practised for many years both professionally and as a teacher, developing a profound relationship with the material, colour and structure of the artwork. In parallel, she has cultivated painting as a space of expressive freedom, driven by an inner necessity.

Her early works are figurative, focusing on the female figure and landscapes, but are already characterised by a fragmentation of form that gradually leads her towards abstraction. Colour becomes the preferred medium of her language: used in pure, juxtaposed and overlaid fields, it builds luminous surfaces that recall mosaic and Art Nouveau stained glass. At the same time, the sharp delineation of the chromatic fields reminds us of the predominance of Florentine drawing, as if a link existed from the Antique to the Contemporary, a bridge between the manual skill of restoration and the creativity that emerges in her own art. Every brushstroke is conceived as an autonomous and indispensable fragment, part of a broader and harmonious whole.

Her work investigates the relationship between part and whole, interconnection and cosmos, conveying a vision in which every element contributes to a universal design, where nothing is accidental and everything finds meaning in Unity.
