Fabian Pérez (born 1967 in Buenos Aires, Argentina) is a renowned contemporary figurative painter known for his moody, emotionally charged depictions of tango dancers, nightclubs, and intimate scenes. Influenced by his upbringing in a nightlife-filled environment and the loss of both parents at a young age, his work blends drama and romance in a style he calls "neo-emotionalism." After living in Italy, Japan, and now Los Angeles, Pérez has gained international recognition, serving as the official artist for the Latin Grammy Awards and the 2010 Winter Olympics. His portraits of icons like Pope Francis and Lionel Messi reflect his signature blend of narrative intensity and raw expression.
