FABIO cembranelli

Fábio Cembranelli, a renowned Brazilian artist, started painting at university where he studied architecture. His painting have been featured in exhibitions and collections worldwide and his unique an luminous floral watercolors are known internationally. Explaining why he has chosen transparent watercolor as his favorite medium, he says, "What compels me to paint with this approach is the possibility of painting quickly. It suits my personality best – the fluidity when I define only he main masses and allow the unpredictable to happen on the rest of the paper. Timing is quite important in my method. I learn intuitively toward realism, but the right speed forces me to create diffused effects and shapes. I love painting flowers and landscapes in watercolor and I'm always enchanted by the attempt to capture the contrast between loose and definitive edges, as well as light and shadow effects."

When he paints he aims to take the essentials of each subject through his interpretation. It's like a personal subject depiction that will result in a unique work. Fábio teaches painting techniques in his studio, in art galleries and in art societies as well as in person and online workshops throughout Brazil and abroad. He also is a regular contributor to several art magazines in South America, the US, the UK, Norway, France, Japan and Australia for example.
