Acquire the first painting notions in early age at school by a teacher of Art Education (student of De Chirico), who involve him experimenting many painting techniques and various kinds of subject. It’s with regret but equally with much joy that he remember his past, when his youthful works were exposed at school, and today might call the "first personal exhibition of Fabrizio De Santis." Faithful to the couple received continued, though self-taught, the path that led him to refine and use various techniques such as oil painting, watercolor, ink, graphite, charcoals and oil pastels , used singly or in mixed tecnique. It’s with these techniques, used on various support types (paper, canvas, etc.), and in a way so personal and wise that he realized surprising masterpieces. He stands out in particular the technique of hand nuances of oil pastels and their "coating" that distinguishes him in the national painting landscape. From his paintings, purely figurative and man inspired, the observer can perceive those EMOTIONS, PASSIONS, DEFECTS and VIRTUES, which are inherent in the artist thoughts and in each one of us. Joy and Pain, Love and Suffering are the expressions from which comes out this passionate painting. Some of his paintings reflect well man weaknesses and fears, his sufferings, as well as the joys and passions all, particularly those of jazz. Little masterpieces are those in "monochrome" or "white on black," where the artist has been able to carry out much of its visual imagination to reality for all of us. His works give rise to success and have been purchased by some privates, this before being exhibited in art galleries, and thanks to insistence of his admirers and family members, the artist decided to show them to share his work with a wider audience.
