Fabian Perez’s Night Highlights captures a moment of quiet intimacy and subtle tension between a couple, framed by the elegant world Perez often evokes in his art. This limited edition, hand-embellished canvas on board portrays a man and woman dressed to perfection, each holding a glass of red wine and a cigarette, while their gazes are fixed on something off to the side. Though they share the same focus, their reactions to whatever they are looking at are distinct—her expression one of contemplation, his marked by a touch of mystery. This contrast in their responses adds layers of intrigue and narrative to the piece, inviting the viewer to imagine the story unfolding before them.
The elegant simplicity of the composition is enhanced by Perez’s signature style—bold brushstrokes, rich color contrasts, and delicate hand embellishments that add texture and depth. The interplay of light and shadow, especially around the couple’s figures, emphasizes the contrast between their refined appearance and the underlying emotional complexity in their expressions. This moment of subtle interaction, captured in Perez’s cinematic style, invites the viewer to explore the unspoken connection between the two figures, as well as the deeper layers of meaning in the scene.

Fabian Perez’s artwork finds its roots in his unorthodox upbringing. born in Buenos Aires in 1967, Perez grew up catching glimpses of the nightlife at his father’s nightclubs and bordellos. With his artistic mother and roguish father, Perez saw the glamour and romance of the world they inhabited: passionate and elegant, refined and secretive. Now, his memories of those stylish and fascinating characters populate his work.
After losing both parents before his twenties, Perez began to travel the world, developing his artistic talents as he did so. He also discovered martial arts, and studied with a dedication that would later impact the discipline he used to perfect his art style.
After his career took off while he was working in Italy, Perez experienced a growing recognition and fame for his now famous art style. He eventually moved to the US, where accolades and admiration for his art has continued to grow. He now lives and works in Los Angeles, still creating work and touring to interact with his always expanding group of followers.
