Alba Fabre
Biography
(Barcelona, 1994) trained for years in a rigorous academic setting in painting and drawing in Barcelona, where she also taught for several years. Fabre now works independently from her own studio, focusing exclusively on her artistic practice.
Since 2020, she has ventured into contemporary muralism, standing out for a strictly pictorial language, without references to graffiti or street art, rethinking the mural as a medium linked to the tradition of painting. Her practice develops between the public dimension of murals and the economic dependence on festivals and institutional commissions, which shape both her possibilities and limitations.
Internationally recognized for her representations of the human figure and organic forms, sometimes evoking an impressionist sensibility, Fabre has faced censorship and self-censorship. This has led her to explore easel painting as a space for expressive autonomy, free from institutional or administrative agendas.
