Fabiola Gironi was born and raised in Italy and moved to California after finishing her university studies. Her paintings draw inspiration from artists ranging from Italian Renaissance painters such as Veronese to Diebenkorn and the Bay Area Figurative painters. Now living in Los Angeles and steeped in the saturated light of Southern California, Gironi works with a jewel toned and intensely rich palette. Her process of layering acrylic, oil, color sticks, and occasionally wool embroidery results in paintings that are dynamic and elegant - structured yet playful.
