Personality is perpetually evolving. The portraits within the Anti-ego series symbolize a rejection of fixed identities. They delve into the unseen, depicting individuals not as incomplete, but in a state of continual flux. Their lives are dynamic, their selves ever-changing. By relinquishing the ego, they embrace metamorphosis.
Observing these artworks reveals the ongoing construction of personality, shaped by experiences, emotions, and the passage of time. Each viewing offers a unique perspective, as the portrait subtly shifts with each gaze. It's a process marked by intrinsic movement, a deeply personal journey of evolution.
The artist, Fabio La Fauci, embodies this ethos of change. Influenced by both classical masterpieces and contemporary culture, his career has taken him from Milan to Barcelona, London, and Berlin, before landing in Tuscany. His latest series marks a progression, a deeper exploration into the human form. These paintings portray figures reminiscent of Hollywood icons or characters from Hitchcock or Lynch films, yet they remain enigmatic, inviting viewers to uncover their hidden depths.
In shedding old identities, La Fauci's work invites us to embrace growth, curiosity, and the wonder of transformation.
