The works of Michela Fabeni represent a unique artistic language where sculpture, painting, and contemporary materiality merge harmoniously.
Her bas-reliefs on canvas, shaped with spatula and bare hands and finished with pearlescent, iridescent, and metallic pigments as well as gold, silver, or copper leaf, create three-dimensional textures that blur the boundaries between painting and sculpture.
Soft, personally prepared mixtures generate vibrant, tactile surfaces. The use of spatulas, brushes, and hands introduces immediate and expressive gestures, while reflective metals and pigments add luminosity and preciousness, contrasting with rough white surfaces and creating a visual balance between simplicity and refinement.
The color palette ranges from natural tones to iridescent metals and pure white, evoking harmony and modernity. Light plays shift depending on the viewing angle, adding dynamism and life to each work. References to Baroque and Italian Renaissance art, reinterpreted in a contemporary key, combine with Expressionist, abstract, and material influences, making each bas-relief a dialogue between tradition and innovation, matter and spirit.
Structured and reflective surfaces invite the viewer into a multisensory experience, while organic materials suggest a deep connection with nature and primordial simplicity. Michela Fabeni’s art explores universal themes of transformation, light, materiality, and sacredness, giving each piece a powerful, emotional, and contemporary visual language.
