Natalia Fabia
Natalia Fabia reveals the world behind closed doors. Her work possesses a vibrancy that is erotic and enticing in nature, while maintaining a delicate semblance of charm and femininity that lends itself to an endearing quality.
The art of Natalia Fabia is academic and painterly, yet new-age and narrative. She collages many things into her work, such as old 50s wallpaper, beer and liquor labels, old punk flyers, jewels and anything she finds on the street or in her studio. Her paintings are very colorful and lively, and there are always hidden treasures to be found in their backgrounds. Having attended Pasadena’s Art Center College of Design, Natalia Fabia’s skill, talent and ability are clearly evident through her colorful portrayals of friends and real-life events. Natalia oftentimes chooses to depict boudoir beauties—“hookers” as she calls them—in a secret setting à la nighttime cabaret or fancy interior.
Always using her friends or other girls she meets as models, her work incorporates elements of peeping toms and bedroom voyeurism complimented by a menagerie of glitter, lace, punk rock keepsakes and thrift store detritus. Natalia loves to paint people and is influenced by colors, punk rock music, hot chicks and anything that sparkles. Her fascination with hookers (of all kinds—which is everyone) is what fuels the many paintings she does of sultry women within their surroundings and alone.
She is of Polish decent, even though her name is Italian. Her best friend in the world is her father Andrew Fabia, also an artist. He has been a major influence in her life, along with artists like Toulouse Lautrec, Bouguereau, Degas, Sargant, Julie Heffernan, Will Cotton and Rebecca Campbell.
She also has a company called “Hookerfeathers,” which specializes in custom clothing and wood-painted and mirrored jewelry. It is sold at a few boutiques and online at Hookerfeathers.com. To witness the emergence of Natalia Fabia is, and will continue to be exciting, electric and memorable.
