Vincenzo Fabiani - Portrait of a Woman with a Cat

Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

In this work, we can appreciate how Vincenzo Fabiani's style is based on a perfect expressive balance between naturalistic rendering and coloristic synthesis. Indeed, the female figure and the cat appear in all their naturalness and anatomical truth, thanks to the artist's flawless technique, which manages to depict the subjects with vivacity and a sense of plasticity. The figures' surfaces are softened by the light, resulting in a vivid and vibrant appearance. Above all, Vincenzo Fabiani's technique surpasses itself in the compositional conception, in that he manages, through the pictorial layering, to characterize his scenes with a veritable photographic direction. Indeed, we can see how the entire space is tonally unified through pink hues and sepia-toned atmospheres that gently fade, completely immersing the subject.

Vincenzo Fabiani is a figurative painter who has dedicated his work primarily to the female figure. Until 1967, he served in the Guardia di Finanza, then, driven in part by his friendship with Giulio Turcato, he decided to become a painter. He is gifted with an excellent technique that allows him to achieve a naturalistic rendering of his subjects, yet always with a lyrical interpretation determined by the synthesis of color.
