(Santa Fe, Argentina, 1967).
Fabiana Imola stands as the creator of metal, whose starting point is the possibility of representing images that maintain the fiction and poetics of the organic. In this way, he proposes a re-reading of forms, inspired by shadow projections, with industrial methodologies, moving through drawing, digital technology, architectural intervention and design.
From its beginnings and up to the present, Imola has maintained and, even more so, emphasized an aesthetic proposal that has nature as its object, very particularly the suggestive forms of the plant kingdom. An option that has been developed in multiple ways and with different strategies, appealing to a very wide range of materials: from appropriations of elements from the natural environment to build objects and installations to interventions in architecture and the urban environment; from drawings made with different techniques and formats to vinyl prints and metal cutouts that unfold on the walls or that allow you to create complex three-dimensional structures. Thus, spatial and environmental realizations arise, complemented by very fine silhouettes, planes and volumes that are presented, to a large extent, as an enveloping artificial nature.
Fabiana Imola studied at the School of Fine Arts of the Faculty of Humanities and Arts of the National University of Rosario, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a specialty in Sculpture. At the same time, he completed his training conducting construction clinics with Juan Pablo Renzi and Pablo Suárez, in 1991 and 1993 respectively, and then with Jorge Gumier Maier, from 1999 to 2001. Also, between 2003 and 2005, she was a Fellow of the UBA/Rojas Visual Arts Program directed by Guillermo Kuitca. Since 1991, he has exhibited individually and collectively in cultural institutions, museums and galleries in the country and abroad, and his works are in official and private collections and located in houses and buildings in the city and other locations. In 2006 she received the Argentine Award for Visual Arts in the Sculpture and Object category, awarded by the OSDE Foundation and in 2009 she won the Urban Installations Contest on the «Right of women to use and enjoy the city», promoted by the Women’s Area of the city of Rosario. Since 1999, she has worked as Coordinator of the Plastics Workshop of the Cultural Area of the Dr. A. I. Freyre de Oliveros, S. F. Psychiatric Colony.
The results of this work were exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Rosario and in art galleries in the city and Buenos Aires. In 2016 he presented Enramada, Anthological Exhibition at the Castagnino Macro Museum, where he presented his work over the last fifteen years.
