BIO
Fábio Cembranelli, a renowned Brazilian artist, started painting at university, where he studied architecture. His paintings have been featured in exhibitions and collections worldwide and his unique and luminous floral watercolors are known internationally.
Explaining why he has chosen transparent watercolor as his favorite medium, he says, “What compels me to paint with this approach is the possibility of painting quickly. It suits my personality best — the fluidity of the medium provides a unique sensation of unexpected color mixing, particularly when I define only the main masses and allow the unpredictable to happen on the rest of the paper. Timing is quite important in my method. I lean intuitively toward realism, but the right speed forces me to create diffused effects and shapes. I love painting flowers and landscapes in watercolor and I’m always enchanted by the attempt to capture the contrast between loose and definitive edges, as well as light and shadow effects.”
When he paints he aims to take the essential of each subject through his own interpretation. It`s like a personal subject depiction that will result in an unique work. Fábio teaches painting techniques in his studio, in art galleries and and art societies as well as workshops throughout Brazil and abroad. He also is a regular contributor to several art magazines in South America, US, UK, Norway, France, Japan and Australia, for example. In the upcoming years he will be tutoring several workshops in Europe, Asia and North America also works as illustrator for some publishing in South America.
