Fabian Perez’s Proud to be a Man is a compelling portrayal of introspection and strength. A solitary figure, bathed in warm, ambient light, sits in quiet contemplation, his suit’s shadowy elegance enhancing his dignified presence. Perez’s signature chiaroscuro creates a cinematic allure, while details like curling cigarette smoke and a glass of whiskey add depth to the narrative. With a rich yet muted palette, the piece evokes masculinity and self-reflection. Both visually striking and emotionally profound, this artwork is a timeless investment, capturing the essence of Perez’s celebrated style.

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.
