The Shadow of the Absence Sculpture

Fabiana Vizzani Reis, born on May 13, 1975, in Rome, Italy, is a multifaceted artist and gallerist manager with a remarkable journey in the art world. Her educational path began with a strong foundation, culminating in a Bachelor's degree in law from "La Sapienza" Roma University in the year 2000. However, her true passion lay in the world of art and culture. Fabiand's career took a significant turn in 2001 when she relocated to São Paulo, Brazil, where she immersed herself in the art scene. Over the years, she served as a curator, gallery manager, marchand, and cultural manager at 1Q Art Gallery, demonstrating her dedication to fostering artistic talent. In parallel, Fabiana honed her artistic skills by pursuing a degree in visual art at the Panamericana School of São Paulo from 2012 to 2015. During this time, she had the privilege of learning from esteemed artists, including Antonio Peticov, Ivald Granato, Gregorio Gruber, and Sergio Gregorio. Her involvement in the art world continued to flourish, leading her to co-curate 'Esquina da Arte," an urban art gallery in Itaim, São Paulo, in 2015. This marked a significant milestone in her artistic journey. 1 2016, she held a solo exhibition titled "Mulher sem filtro" at Parede do Artista - Hotel do Chiado in Lisbon, Portugal. This international exposure led to more opportunities, including a collective exhibition called "Pangea" at Abraço Art gallery, also in Lisbon, in 2017. In 2017, she manifested her dream by inaugurating her own gallery, the Sestante Art Gallery and Atelier in Lisbon. This gallery not only became a platform for her own work but also a space to promote other artists. Over the years, Fabiana continued to share her art globally, with exhibitions in New York, Miami, Switzerland, and prestigious venues in Europe, including the Carrosel do Louvre in Paris. Her dedication to the arts also extended to her education, as she pursued a Portuguese degree in Art, Sculpture, History of Art, and Art Curatorship at CSA - Cascais School of Art in Portugal. She furthered her knowledge with a degree in Cultural Management and Museology in Barcelona, Spain. In recognition of her artistic talent, Fabiana received the Isabelle D'Este International Art Contemporary Premium for her painting "Accipit" in 2021. Her journey reached new heights in 2022 when she earned a Master's degree in Arts and Culture Management from the Rome Business School.
