Tommaso Fattovich

About the Artist

Tommaso Fattovich was born in Milan, Italy, where his earliest exposure to art and culture laid the foundation for his creative journey. In his teens, his family relocated to the United States—an experience that would later infuse his work with a unique tension between European refinement and American rawness. Drawing from both worlds, Fattovich channels their contrasts into a visual language that is bold, unrestrained, and deeply personal. A self-taught painter, Fattovich values artistic independence above all. In the solitude of his studio, he distances himself from outside influence, creating from a place of instinct and authenticity. His paintings—visceral, gestural, and charged with energy—invite viewers to confront the unseen rhythms that pulse beneath the surface of everyday life. Fattovich describes his style as “Abstract Punk”—a rebellious fusion of abstraction and raw expressionism. Rejecting convention, he employs oils, acrylics, and unconventional tools such as plaster trowels and forks to sculpt dense textures and dynamic layers onto large-scale canvases. “I use whatever I can to make that mark,” he says. “It’s not even a brush stroke.” His creative process unfolds intuitively, guided by emotion and impulse, until each work reveals its final form—a moment he calls the most rewarding in his practice: when the painting “becomes what it was meant to be.” His first exhibition emerged amid the rise of Miami’s Wynwood Art District in 2010, a period that helped define his presence in the contemporary art scene. Since then, Fattovich’s work has been exhibited in Miami, San Francisco, Palm Springs, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Boca Raton, East Hampton, New York City, and the Netherlands. He currently lives and works in Boca Raton, Florida.
