fabio imperiale - amitié sincère

"Sincere Friendship"
Opera realized with coffee and bitumen on a collage of original antique postcards applied to wood panel, mounted in a frame measuring 36.5 x 41.5 cm.

This is an artisanal frame made by me mainly for protection, easily removable if you want to take the artwork to a professional framer.

I provide a CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY and OWNERSHIP of the artwork.

I ship with a specialized express courier for artworks.
The item can also be picked up at my studio in ROME.
In Rome and the surrounding area I can deliver by hand, personally.
ATTENTION: It is possible to insure the shipment, please inform me in advance.
The extra cost equals 3% of the paid price.

BRIEF BIO
I have always drawn, since I was a child. I approached painting in 2004, self-taught. In the early years I experimented with different techniques and themes.
The female figure has always been present in my artistic research, even though over the years I worked on other series of works, especially urban landscapes and scenes of crowds or individuals.
In 2015 I approached old postal material as a support for my works: envelopes, postcards, maps, letters and manuscripts, and woman returned to be the exclusive protagonist of my painting.
For many years I have collaborated with numerous galleries, shown in solo and group exhibitions, and regularly participate in art fairs.
Since 2014 I have had a painting 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 every region of Italy, creating a painting in each residence. All the produced material was later exhibited in Milan in November 2023 in a large solo show at the Fondazione Matalon.
At the beginning of 2025 I started working on “Il Caffè”, a project in progress that envisions 100 interview-meetings with 100 different women in 100 bars and cafés in Rome and the surrounding area, to highlight the value of meeting, listening, and living each moment consciously. Each of these encounters gives rise to a full portrait of the interviewee, made of painting, words, and video.
