Medium of Choice: Oil

"I’ve used so many different brands of materials over the years, from “affordable” to expensive, and I always go back to my Trekell brushes. From Spectrum to Opal to Legion to Golden Taklon, I can always manipulate each brush in exact and interesting ways.

I constantly use different types and hairs of brushes and Trekell’s collection of diverse brushes perform with a quality that I can feel as I paint. Not to mention, I am vegan and I appreciate they are all synthetic hair. Bottom line is, the products are fabulous and their customer service and care for artists’ need is like no other! I couldn’t be happier to be working with Trekell and be a Pro Team member."

Natalia Fabia, a graduate of the Art Center College of Design, began showing her art in group exhibitions around Los Angeles in the early 2000’s, establishing herself as a contender in the figurative painting arena.

Using her surroundings and life as a rich garden of inspirations, Fabia began making colorful, sultry scenes filled with people, lush environments, ornate fashion, light, interiors, glamour, graffiti, landscapes, punk rock music and an unapologetic sexiness entirely her own.

Fabia finds a genuine comfort and truth in the realness and imperfections within her subjects. She glorifies the individuality and unique aspects of her human figures. Hers is a colorful world celebrating the vibrant diversity and beauty of the life she lives and that exists around her.

Painting, she feels, exists to allow artists to create any world they want – make it, and make it yours. Infused with Fabia’s signature style, vividly saturated candy color palettes and a dazzling spectrum of light, her work is a combination of fantasy narratives and actual moments captured from the artist’s life.

Influenced by artists the likes of Henri Toulouse Lautrec, John William Waterhouse, John Singer Sargent, Rebecca Campbell, Lisa Yuskavage etc., plus fashion designers like Alexander McQueen, Fabia’s painterly studies in oil are marked by bold, determined strokes that offer depth and clarity. Having studied with many contemporary masters, her knowledge and understanding of the color palette underscore her ability to bring life and light to canvas.
