Born in Buenos Aires in 1967, Fabian Perez’s path weaves through loss, martial arts, and world travel—from Argentina to Italy and Japan—before settling in Los Angeles. Self-taught yet deeply influenced by Shodo and rooted in raw emotion, his “Neo-Emotionalism” reflects personal history: the nightclub milieu of his youth, the discipline of karate, and the quest for expressive authenticity. His work is both tribute and testament to his life’s journey.
