Fabiana Imola (1967, Santa Fe, Argentina) emerges as an architect of metal, whose starting point is the possibility of representing images that maintain the fiction and poetics of the organic. In this way, she proposes a re-reading of forms, inspired by shadow projections, with industrial methodologies, moving through drawing, digital technology, architectural intervention and design.
From its beginnings and until today, Imola has sustained and, even more, emphasized, an aesthetic proposal that has nature as its object, particularly the suggestive forms of the plant kingdom. An option that she has developed in multiple ways and with different strategies, appealing to a very wide range of materials: from appropriations of elements from the natural environment to build objects and installations to interventions in architecture and the urban environment; from drawings made with different techniques and formats to vinyl prints and metal cutouts that unfold on the walls or that allow you to create complex three-dimensional structures. Thus, spatial and environmental realizations emerge, complemented by very fine silhouettes, planes and volumes that are presented, to a large extent, as an enveloping artificial nature.
Fabiana Imola studied at the School of Fine Arts of the Faculty of Humanities and Arts of the National University of Rosario, graduating with a degree in Fine Arts with a Sculpture Specialty. At the same time, she completed her training by conducting work clinics with Juan Pablo Renzi and Pablo Suárez, in 1991 and 1993 respectively, and then, with Jorge Gumier Maier, from 1999 to 2001. Likewise, between 2003 and 2005, she was a Scholar of the Visual Arts Program UBA/Rojas directed by Guillermo Kuitca. Since 1991 she has exhibited individually and collectively in cultural institutions, museums and galleries in the country and abroad, and her works are found in official and private collections and located in houses and buildings in the city and other locations.
In 2006 she received the Argentine Prize for Visual Arts in the Sculpture and Object category, awarded by the OSDE Foundation and in 2009 she won the Urban Installations Contest on the “Right of women to use and enjoy the city”, promoted by the Women’s Area of the city of Rosario.
From 1999 to 2018 she works as Coordinator of the Plastic Workshop of the Cultural Area of the Psychiatric Colony in the town of Oliveros, Santa Fe.
In 2016 she presented Enramada, Anthological Individual Exhibition at the Castagnino Macro Museum, Rosario, Santa Fe.
She lives and works in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina.
