Fabio Mesa was born in the city of Medellin, Colombia, in 1970. Mesa presently resides in Medellin, where he owns his artistic workshop. He frequently travels from Colombia to other countries to participate at relevant exhibitions and to take part in collaborative workshops. From 2014 until today, visual artist Fabio Mesa has visited important cities in the United States of America, such as Miami, New York City and Greenwich, as well as Panama City in the Republic of Panama, Central America, and Beijing in the People’s Republic of China, Asia.

Fabio Mesa has developed his Art inspired by the effects of​ ​light through shades and color. It is remarkable the versatility in how he recreates his own shapes and lines, making a ‘fusion’ of them with his unique human crowds and the effects of the light perceived through endless spaces. His cleverly achieved perspectives capture and give great emotions to the viewers of the artworks. They are composed of one or multiple pieces that combine among them. Mesa uses delicate combinations of gray, silver, gold, black or white, accompanying them with the addition of one or more bright colors to create a vibrating effect and impact, making each work a unique experience to enjoy. The artworks evolve into a deep intellectual approach towards the viewer, achieving an interactive visual effect.

When there is light a vivid and intense color is presented also combined with deep shadows, as we can see in the unique Art masterpiece created by Fabio Mesa for the Aston Martin Residences Miami.

Artist Fabio Mesa has said about his artistic work: “In my​ ​work, crowds march toward common goals, which revolve around dreams that human beings share as a society: the search for peace, the struggle for a better life”… “In my paintings, the ‘dreamers’ tirelessly search for their dreams​ ​on the path of life that is often unknown to them but may lead to freedom and peace in another reality.”

As an Art Curator it is very interesting for me to realize how the paintings by the Artist Fabio Mesa are an interpretation​ ​about the conduct and hopes of the human beings as crowds, from unpredictable to secure, as well as from intimidating to calm and kind. One important objective of the Artist is to make a call to peace and understanding through his Art. A human crowd can be anywhere, at an urban city square, or in front to​ ​a vast landscape, or in an undefined abstract space, as the main important thing of the painting is to show human beings searching for peace, liberty, and illumination.

In 1981, Mesa began to study at the Escuela de Bellas Artes in Medellin, later starting his professional creative career after 5 years of art studies.​ ​Artist Fabio Mesa briefly stopped to work for two years to increase and develop his innovative talent studying at Medellin’s Art Workshop.
