Parker Jordan is proud to present Fabian Perez.
Fabian Perez was born on November 2, 1967 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
He was brought up in the small but dynamic Argentinean city of Campana, 50 miles outside the capital. From the age of nine he felt at home holding a paintbrush, producing surprisingly mature portraits of family and friends. His extraordinary parents played a huge part in his creative development; his mother was artistic and imaginative, while his father was a fascinating figure - well known locally both to
the people and the police as a somewhat clandestine character with a hand in
various business dealings that operated after dark in the nightclubs
and on the streets of the city.
His father’s activities meant that the young Fabian was exposed to an interesting cast of characters, from handsome men who lived their lives on the edge, to women who, as he himself puts it, “could seduce a man simply by lighting a cigarette”.
Add to this a world of sultry and glamorous tango dancers, flamenco guitarists and gypsy musicians, and Fabian’s stunning paintings fall into context as atmospheric representations of forbidden sensuality and unnamed desires.
