Fabrizio

Fabrizio was born in 1975, on october 30th at Aracaju, a small town located in North East Brazil. Whereas most of his playmates enjoy football, he is drawn by an irresistible need for drawing and painting.
 
After his father's death, he goes to Sao Paulo. In this touristic megalopolis offering inumerable opportunities, Fabrizio refuses to do odd jobs, he wants to quench his passion for painting.
 
A friend of his advises him to adopt a "touristico naif style" but he does not want to. This kind of colors and shapes does not correspond to his vision of art. He claims to be a cubist.
 
After trying hard, he manages to exhibit his first real paintings in a small shop in the historical center "el Pelourinho". Immediately his work attracts attention, he is nicknamed "o menino malouquino", which means "little crazy boy". Tourists buy his paintings.
 
A business woman, a great lover of arts, is much moved and starts praising his work. She encourages, advises him and introduces him to other people. A friendship is born between the two of them.
 
This woman's son lives in Paris where he has been working as a doctor for over twenty years, and in 2002 Fabrizio can take part in different exhibitions in the capital of France. After several exhibitions, he settles in Italy with his family.

He lives and works there today.
