Fausto Gilberti is a painter and illustrator that works mainly on wall paintings and drawings with ink on paper.
He is widely recognized by his minimal black and white artworks where stylized characters -often represented with oddly shaped eyes- stand out on a crowded scene that usually winks at the world of art and music.
He has participated in several international art fairs such as Artefiera, Bologna; Arco, Madrid; Pulse, New York, Miami, London; Nada, Miami; ArtLima, Lima; Zona Maco, Citta del Mexico; Miart, Milano; Artissima Torino; Fiac, Paris; Drawing Now, Paris; Art Cologne, Koln; Artforum, Berlin; Volta, Basel; ArtBrussels, Brussels.
