They say a look is worth a thousand words but in this new artwork 'Summer Rain' (24 x 30 inch canvas version), Fabian Perez conveys that a glance away, can be much more powerful.
In this limited edition on canvas piece, we see a lady (perhaps Saba) holding a white umbrella, with her head turned away from the viewer.
Her dress is alluring and the use of white paint, to represent sunlight on her right hand side & on the black dress, is masterful by Perez.
The hand embellishment on this limited edition canvas, means there is even more for the art viewer to enjoy, on their wall.
What stands out for me is Fabian Perez's painting of her hands and face; her hands are perfectly created and in position and her face: the jaw line, cheek bones, nose and eyelashes create the illusion that I am present at the scene - a superb piece of artwork.
The sun's powerful light is also shining through the very top of the white umbrella and Fabian has used a lighter shade of white to depict this on the canvas.
Fabian loves to paint women in dark clothes with white umbrella, as it allows him to demonstrate his immense talent in painting like reflection and shadow.
The woman almost looks like she illuminated by some magical light or a studio lamp!
This limited edition, hand embellished canvas is a testament to Fabian Perez's painting skills.
Experimenting with the interplay of light and dark colours is at the forefront of this painting, as well as brilliantly capturing the tones and shadows used on the female figure.
Special attention is paid to the umbrella she holds, whilst a powerful composition takes place amongst the darkness of the canvas.
A striking image which conjures emotion in the viewer, through its use of light.
