Fabio Imperiale - buon fine e miglior principio

Artwork made with coffee, asphalt, and acrylic on a collage of original antique postcards (circa 1890-1950), mounted on a panel and framed.

The artwork has been handcrafted and framed by me. The frame is easily removable, should you decide to replace it and have a new one made by a carpenter.

I provide a certificate of authenticity and ownership.
I ship with an express courier specialized in the transportation of artworks.
The item can also be collected at my studio in Rome.
I can deliver personally in Rome and the surrounding areas.

Brief Bio
I have always drawn, since I was a child. I approached painting in 2004, as a self-taught artist. In the early years, I experimented with different techniques and themes.
The female figure has always been present in my painting research, although over the years I have worked on other series of works, especially urban landscapes and scenes of anonymous crowds or individuals.
In 2015, I started exploring antique postal material as a support for my work: letter envelopes, postcards, maps, letters, and manuscripts, and the woman became the exclusive protagonist of my painting again.
For many years, I have been collaborating with numerous galleries, exhibiting in solo and group shows, and regularly participating in art fairs.
Since 2014, I have had an art studio in Rome, in Trastevere.
In 2021, following the COVID period, I conceived Marginalia, a project of home-made residencies in which I was hosted in a different house in each region of Italy, creating a painting at each residence. All the produced material was later exhibited in Milan in November 2023 at a major solo show at the Fondazione Matalon.
At the beginning of 2025, I started working on 'Il Caffè,' a project in progress that involves 100 interview-meetings with 100 different women in 100 bars and cafes in Rome and its surroundings. The aim is to highlight the value of encounters, listening, and living each moment consciously. Each of these meetings results in a comprehensive portrait of the interviewed woman, created through painting, words, and video.
