fabio imperiale - la cartolina verde

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 a specialized express courier for transporting artworks.
The item can also be picked up at my studio in Rome.
I can deliver by hand, personally, to Rome and the surrounding area.

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, even if over the years I have worked on other series of works, especially urban landscapes and scenes of anonymous crowds or individuals.
In 2015, I approached ancient postal material as a support for my works: letters, postcards, maps, letters, and manuscripts, and the woman has returned to being the exclusive protagonist of my painting.
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 a painting studio in Rome, in Trastevere.
In 2021, following the COVID period, I conceived Marginalia, a project of homemade residencies in which I was hosted in a different house in each region of Italy, creating a painting in each residence. All the material produced was then exhibited in Milan in November 2023 in a large solo exhibition at the Matalon Foundation.
At the beginning of 2025, I started working on "Il Caffè," an ongoing project that involves 100 interview meetings with 100 different women in 100 bars and cafés around Rome and its surroundings, to highlight the value of encounters, listening, and living each moment consciously. Each of these meetings gives rise to a comprehensive portrait of the interviewed woman, created through painting, words, and video.
