Lady Pink

Lady Pink, whose real name is Sandra Fabara, is an Ecuadorian-American graffiti artist and muralist born in 1964 in Ambato, Ecuador. She emigrated to New York City at the age of seven and grew up in Queens. In 1979, at just 15, she began painting in the New York subway, quickly becoming one of the few women to make a name for herself in the male-dominated graffiti scene. She joined collectives such as TC5 (The Cool 5) and TPA (The Public Animals), and in 1980 founded the group Ladies of the Arts to promote the place of women in street art.

A graduate of Manhattan's High School of Art and Design, where she majored in architecture , Lady Pink developed a unique style that blended surrealism , urban landscapes, and feminist symbolism. In 1982, she starred in the cult film Wild Style, helping to popularize hip-hop and graffiti art worldwide.

At the age of 21, she held her first solo exhibition, Femmes-Fatales, at the Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia. Since then, her work has been exhibited at prestigious institutions such as the Whitney Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands.

Recent exhibitions include She's an Anomaly at Arena Studio d'Arte in Verona in January 2024, and a solo exhibition in Paris with GraffitiandCo in April 2024. In June 2025, she will create a monumental fresco for MoMA PS1, paying homage to the iconic 5Pointz site.

Committed to art education, Lady Pink leads workshops and coordinates community mural projects, including with students at the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts in Queens. Today, she resides in the Hudson Valley, where she continues to create and inspire new generations of artists.
