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 is deeply influenced by his unconventional upbringing. Born in Buenos Aires in 1967, he grew up surrounded by the vibrant nightlife of his father’s nightclubs and bordellos. With his artistic mother and roguish father, Perez witnessed the glamour and romance of a world both passionate and secretive. These memories of stylish and fascinating characters now populate his work.
After losing both parents before his twenties, Perez began traveling the world, refining his artistic skills. During this time, he also discovered martial arts, a discipline that shaped the precision and dedication he later applied to his art.
Perez’s career took off in Italy, where his unique style gained recognition and fame. He eventually moved to the US, where his work continues to earn accolades. Now based in Los Angeles, Perez still creates new works and tours to engage with his ever-expanding following.
