Meet FABS: Art

We had the good fortune of connecting with FABS and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi FABS, why did you pursue a creative career?
I have always enjoyed drawing large scale, anytime I would get the chance I would paint one. Some for friends or with friends, others for businesses. I would simultaneously always have other jobs in restaurants mostly. Later, living in Ecuador meanwhile receiving my bachelors degree in Sculpture, I started working in workshops for kids. All of them were related to graffiti and different important subjects, such as water rights, women’s rights, etc. Friends and family have always supported me by hiring me, and painting of my own will in the street has always payed me back by receiving more recognition, respect and work. Embarking on new techniques has always called my attention. Using silkscreen as another way to express myself and also create accessible merchandise. Currently I’m starting to tattoo and recently organized a group female expo in Cholula. Mexico. Who knows what will come next!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
For me it hasn’t been easy nor has it been a struggle. A little bit of both perhaps. I feel I have worked really hard to be where I am and I continue to do so, but I love what I do and I am so fortunate for that. I think it’s very important to finish what you set your mind to and get it done. Not to depend on others for everything, if they come through, great! If they don’t, it’s not a big deal because you’ve got your own back. When something goes wrong, know that it’s meant to be that way so you could learn from it. Don’t blame others for something you have learned from!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I grew up around Jupiter, so I would suggest Juno Beach, the inlet, and Jonathan Dickinson Park among a few. vegetarian Brussels sprout taco in Papichulo Taco is a must. In Miami I love going to Vizcaya Village and Andiamos for pizza!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My mother, Yoli ❤️
