Artist Statement:
Fabio Modica was born in
Catania in 1978. Being an
apprentice to such
well-established Italian
painters as Alberto Abbate and
Antonio Sciacca, he was
initially inspired by the
classical Renaissance, drawing
occasionally on the Greek and
Latin mythology. In his early
years as a painter, he chose
human figures wrapped in a
Caravaggesque light as his
major subject-matter and oils
as his favourite medium. He
also tried his hands at
several techniques, including
watercolours, acrylics and
chalks.
His acquaintance with a famous
expressionist Italian painter,
Antonio Santacroce, who taught
him painting at the Nike
Academy in Catania, marked a
radical change in his work.

has gradually departed from
the representational style
towards a semi-abstracted
perspective, in which painting
about painting and a love for
sheer lines and colours have
begun to struggle with his
long-lasting feel for
figurative art, seeking in
vain a balance.
His trip to Mexico marked a
further development in this
direction, as it triggered a
variety of sketches of Mexican
villagers’ everyday life which
he executed with acrylics on
jute in a slightly abstracted
manner.
Over time he has grown a
passion for the nude art which
