Alba Fabre
Alba Fabre is a Barcelona-based contemporary artist whose practice encompasses painting, drawing and muralism. Her work is characterized by a vibrant figurative language, expressive brushwork and an intense use of color, with a particular interest in light, gesture and atmosphere. Fabre trained in Drawing and Painting at the Barcelona Academy of Art, where she currently works as an instructor. Her academic training provided her with a strong foundation in classical drawing and painting techniques, which she combines with a spontaneous and distinctly contemporary approach. Alongside her studio practice, she develops large-scale mural projects and works within the field of urban art. Drawing from classical artistic traditions, Impressionism and contemporary visual culture, Fabre explores the human figure, everyday life and the psychological dimension of her subjects. Her paintings often capture fleeting moments through energetic brushstrokes, rich chromatic relationships and an immediate sense of movement. Psychological inquiry and social themes also play an important role in her work, adding emotional and conceptual depth to her compositions. Through this combination of technical knowledge, observation and painterly freedom, Fabre has developed an accessible yet distinctive visual language that connects traditional painting with contemporary experience.
