Fabiola Jean-Louis: Rewriting History Series
About:
Fabiola Jean-Louis is a Haitian born, fine artist and photographer currently based out of Brooklyn, N.Y.. As a little girl growing up in New York, Fabiola was surrounded by art and fascinating characters. Her father was an artist with skills ranging from carpentry, and oil painting, to fashion design/construction. It was no surprise that she would later attended Fashion Industries High School, then the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. While there, she majored in illustration though, she realized that her passion for the arts encompassed several fields. It would be years until Fabiola discovered her love and talent for photography.
Her imagery seamlessly blends magic with the mundane and reality with the speculative to bring unseen worlds out of hiding. With a style that is haunting, moody, dreamy, magical, and mysterious, along with her talent for visual story-telling, Jean-Louis stands out as an artist to be watched.
Although she has only been working at her craft for two years, she is already making waves as a visionary who can manifest diverse patterns of space-time, sci-fi, costume design and surrealism within the worlds of her art. Fabiola’s work has already been featured in AfroPunk, Blerds, ArtInsomniac, and commissioned for books, several album covers, branding, and now model portfolios. She is currently working on her first solo photography & sculpture exhibition.(text and copyright the artist)
