Description of the Artwork “The queen of the century (100)”
In this deeply emotional work, Fabio Pasquali masterfully captures four phases of the life of the late Queen Elizabeth II. Using a pop art style, the artist illustrates the passage of time with black and white tones on paper, evoking nostalgia and reverence in equal measure. Each phase of the Queen's life is depicted with great precision and sensitivity, offering a heartfelt tribute to one of the most iconic figures in modern history. The interplay between chiaroscuro and intricate detail celebrates the Queen's resilience, strength and grace as a symbol of continuity, dedication and leadership.

My name is Fabio Pasquali, I was born on 2 October 1997 in Gattinara (VC) and I live in Bioglio (BI) in Piedmont. I have a certificate in thermo-hydraulics and a diploma as a surveyor, so my artistic path is determined by my self-taught desire. The first technique that opened me to painting was spray art, the use of spray cans, in high school; in this primordial phase the dimensions of the works were around 33x48cm and the subjects were replicas that I saw in this current, such as spatial landscapes, pyramids and skylines of various cities. Still with spray art, at a certain point, I integrated with other techniques such as tempera and pencils and the subjects became animals, the first humanoid subjects, real people and I began to give political, social, critical religious and environmental in some works; in general there is also always an aesthete factor that accompanies me today. The dimensions of the works in this artistic period were 22x31cm and I built the canvases myself with waste material, over time I perfected the techniques of these canvases with new materials for the canvas part in particular, the first ones were canvases with a wooden frame and treated cardboard canvas. For a very short period I had an artistic phase where I used tempera and in this phase there was no addition of female subjects, which is currently characteristic of my artistic line. After the previous phase I moved on to acrylics, almost immediately, this period is characterized by an artistic phase dominated by a strong aesthete component and mainly rich in female portraits; including full and side nude works with a meaning more intrinsic to me as a person. The sizes, still current, were 30x40, 40x60, 50x70 and 70x100cm and here I started canvases using a construction process with the real cotton canvas part; obviously treated. From here on I simply integrated with various techniques to improve the final result, I expanded the subjects of the paintings with what I felt inside; therefore with personal emotional meaning and the canvases I use now are only the ones I make with a wooden frame and treated cotton canvas. In between my different phases and larger technical acquisitions I have developed series characterized by a single technique or to communicate a specific aspect of my person such as ideas and opinions, one of these is the series based only on the use of charcoal and with measures 21x29.7cm; This series includes all the themes and subjects developed during my artistic journey and has only cardboard as a support and then placed in a frame. The other series is characterized by social, political, religious criticism and environmental themes with the physical size of an A5, more or less, sometimes featuring public figures. Like any self-styled artist I am looking for new things to inspire me.
