My social media are a public, open diary. Here I share the heart of my work: my personal Smussato technique, the bas-reliefs that take shape, but also my thoughts, emotions, poems, and texts. These spaces are not meant to seek approval or recognition, but to leave a living, authentic trace in the world. It is lived, written, transformed, and leaves a trace. They are a natural extension of my artistic practice: I show what happens at the very beginning of a work, during the c

Fragments - Journey without Borders, within the Soul and Living Matter is more than a book: it is a sensory experience that follows my creative path. Each fragment captures images of the bas-reliefs, videos of the transformations of the works, details of the gestures, thoughts, and reflections, offering an intimate look at the birth of the creations. The musical pieces of the sensory diary and the poetic texts on the pages guide us to the heart of the work: matter, light,

Each bas-relief by Michela Fabeni originates from a gesture, a vision, a fragment of experience. The works are not just images to look at, but paths to walk through, spaces of reflection and dialogue with the viewer. For collectors, discovering a work means entering a thematic journey, where every recurring element—gold, light, smoothed shapes created using her personal Smussato technique, breathing reliefs—carries meaning and coherence. Everything is designed to create conne

The Smussato technique is not just a gesture on the material; it is a journey through the time and space of the gesture itself. Each bas-relief is born from a hand that listens, shapes, and reveals, allowing the form to emerge without haste or force. In Smussato, bare hands and the palette knife are complementary tools. Hands perceive every variation, relief, and irregularity; they allow the surface to be gently shaped and the gesture to become a direct listening to the mater

On January 15, in the heart of Rome, time opens. At Palazzo Nazareno, a sixteenth-century building rich in memory, founded by the luminous vision of Giuseppe Calasanzio and donated by Cardinal Michelangelo Tonti, known as the Nazareno, history begins to breathe again through art. A place born for free education, for the elevation of the human being, for knowledge as an act of love. In this sacred space of learning and care, my vernissage and solo exhibition take shape: three

In the silence of the gesture, the material comes to life. Still white, raw, fresh, I bathe it with water enriched with vital essence, caress it, and then shape it with palette knife and bare hands. Every relief is born from a profound dialogue with the material, each curve and surface telling a fragment of energy, time, and light. Creating means letting oneself be traversed by the flow, allowing the material to follow its own path and transform gesture into form, thought int

Every material has its own time. The palette knife shapes, the brush strengthens, the hands refine: each gesture respects the natural rhythm of the material. The time of matter cannot be rushed. Every relief, every curve, every detail requires listening, patience, and presence. It is a silent dialogue between me and the material, a meeting between the essence of form and the light that passes through it. When I work, I follow the natural flow of the material: the sun illumina

There are places where nature is not only observed, but felt vibrating under the skin. For me, creating is an act of listening: every gesture arises from a silent dialogue with earth, water, fire, and air. My artworks, bas-reliefs shaped with palette knife and bare hands, created using my personal Smussato technique, are the result of this encounter. The matter I touch is not neutral: it carries memories, flows, and energies that guide my hand. Every relief becomes a fragmen

Michela Fabeni, Alchemist of the Invisible, Creator of Living Skin, Explorer of Inner Gold. My artistic journey unfolds through skin, light, and matter, where every artwork becomes an alchemical act — a silent dialogue between what I feel and what takes form. I do not simply shape surfaces; I listen to them. I work with my bare hands, and palette knife, allowing matter to respond, resist, and reveal itself. Each bas-relief is a living presence, a body that holds memory, emoti

In the mysterious pulse of the ocean, the Marine Creatures Collection emerges: a journey shaped in bas-relief, where water becomes living skin and primordial memory. Every piece is born from my bare hands through the Smussato technique, sculpting waves, currents and luminous forms that breathe across the canvas. The Koi fish, always in pairs, move in an eternal circular dance, embodying the cyclic rhythm of existence, the return, the universal breath. Dolphins rise from the d

The Microcosm Collection is a journey into what cannot be seen with the eyes but is felt beneath the skin. Creating is a sacred act, a silent dialogue between who I am and who I have yet to discover. Through my bas-reliefs on canvas, crafted with the Smussato technique, I explore the material with bare hands, listening to the rhythm of earth, water, fire, and air. My works are living skin, an interplay of wound and light, a caress that leaves a profound mark. I am a body tha

Zodiac Collection: twelve signs, twelve fragments of me It was born from my desire to explore and express my inner universe through art. I created all 12 zodiac signs in 100 x 70 cm bas-relief, starting from raw forms, then transforming them with a black background and golden stars. Each figure is feminine, incarnate, and emblematic, a sign that tells a facet of myself, a fragment of my inner universe, with an almost ancestral aura spanning space and time. These signs are not

Form as Language In my artistic nudes, sinuous forms become a silent language between my hand and the universe. Each figure plays between full and empty, raw material and gold that consecrates it, metallic and shimmering surfaces, tracing a subtle line between light and shadow. Connection with Nature and the Universe The figures are tied to natural and animal elements: a mix of anthropomorphic or highly feminine shapes, sometimes hard to distinguish, where every curve and mov

The Encyclopedia of Light and Matter A journey through my bas-reliefs, collected in chronological catalogues that reveal every gesture, every form, every light captured in the matter. Currently, three volumes are available and I am beginning the fourth. The Encyclopedia is in continuous expansion with my production. First Volume – Origins of Form It tells the story of my first bas-reliefs and the initial exploration of matter. Each page is a dialogue with the birth of form, a

Eternal Rome is not simply a Collection — it is a passage. A breath that moves through centuries, layers, and echoes that continue to resonate. In this series, Michela Fabeni interprets the city as a living body, shaped by incisions, gold, scars, and luminous stillness. Each bas-relief becomes a threshold where memory rises to the surface and matter turns radiant, revealing the symbolic power of a capital that endlessly renews itself. The collection explores an inner Rome,

Today the gesture becomes a circle, time lights up in gold. With the palette knife I open the form, but it is with bare hands that life takes shape, each relief breathing, vibrating, whispering. The circle of life does not close, it welcomes. It is skin and light, wound and caress, a fragment that becomes a bridge between what I feel and what I do not yet know I am. Every nuance, shadow, and golden detail is born from direct contact with the material, from the silent listenin

A 16th-century palace in Rome, once crossed by rebellious minds and great innovators like Galileo, Tommaso Campanella, and Julius Caesar, will host the works of art by Michela Fabeni, January 2026. Both within the palace and its chapel, light and matter will engage in dialogue with my bas-reliefs, evoking stories suspended between past and future. Each work tells of transformation, energy, and the living art of the Third Millennium. Follow my social channels to discover the d
