Tyr / Musician Germany web: [link] - Inspired and enchanted graphic art. one of the top addresses for fantasy artwork today. Kaat Geevers, management team of the group FAUN/ Germany. Guestmusician, Management Netherlands/ Germany website: [link] - Elflands Workshop has managed to create magical portraits for members of the musicgroup FAUN, whilst working overseas. Her ability to connect personal ideas and wishes with her own creative vision has led to detailed paintings and graphical work, as if created by Mother Nature herself. Joseph Michael Linsner, pinup artist, & creator of Dawn USA Web: [link] - Ms. Fabiola Vargas is very talented. With the right encouragement, she could have a terrific fantasy art career, not unlike the famous painter Rowena. Fabi's art has the thing which many new artists lack: the spark of life. All of her figures have grace & ease. Her use of color is original & brings new life to well-trod fantasy territory - her faeries seem to fly. I hope anyone who could pull a few strings for her, to help her launch herself, does - she definitely is a talent that deserves nurturing. Ida Mary Walker Larsen, Artist Denmark Web: [link] - I met Fabiola Vargas at an art site called DeviantArt, and I immediately fell in love with her art as well as her unique personality. She has become a valued and beloved friend, whom I can recommend commissions to anyone! I wanted her to do my special mermaid family portrait because I knew and loved her style,and knew she could be trusted on such a job. She definitely lived up to all my expectations and the result was AMAZING! This will definitely not be my last commission, actually I just ordered another small sketch commission, and I hope to have her do me a larger family commission again in the future. I am an artist myself and thus know my way around art - what is skill and what is not - and I tell you - this lady is truly magnificent! Scott Lamky, Fantasy and Comic art Collector and dealer. USA - Fabi’s work came to my attention about three years ago. I saw some of her work on her web site.I instantly fell in love with her use of colors. She truly brings a piece of paper to life.Shortly after seeing her work for the first time, I was contacting her to arrange my first commission from her. I found her to be a very easy artist to work with, and a lot of fun to talk to. Something that is not always the case with many artists. Since that first piece that Fabi did for me. I have had her create many pieces that have found there way into my collection. Fabi is truly one on my favorite artist. I really love her use of color. And her attention to detail in her line work is wonderful. I also enjoy looking at her photos she has a very keen eye for capturing the mood of the moment. I have and will continue to recommend her to others. Oz(Rusmir) ICT Employee and Musician The Netherlands and Bosnia Web: [link] - People who can put all their feelings in their work are rare to find and should be cherished.Over time i have came to know her as a passionate person who never gives up no matter what happens and always gives 1000% in everything she does And i am glad to count her as one of my friends. In Fabiola`s work i can see and feel freedom, joy, sorrow and much much more and i know that every line and dot was made with feeling.That is what makes this art really organic, the way it comes to existence from talking to someone to becoming friends and letting yourself create without boundaries and with passion. Name: Mariel Maupoint webmaster France Web: [link] - Fabiola Vargas's art depicts fantasy atmospheres in a unique and detailed way. Colours are extraordinary bright and drawings very precise. With such a talent she deserves renown. Carla Eldridge, Artist Alaska. - I have known and worked with Fabiola Vargas in an artistic capacity for approximately one year now. Our combined efforts have proven to be a very good match creatively speaking and I will gladly,and always, work with her for present and/or future projects if and when situations or the urge commands.Fabiola is an outstanding artist. Her eye for brilliant colors coupled with her flair for fantasy has enabled her to create some of the most spectacular painted and penned artworks I have seen to date. Nicklas Kolman Student of nanotechnology at Aarhus University. Denmark - Fabiola is extremely talented, her work is like nothing I've seen anywhere else. She's made some drawings of me from pictures I sent her, and I was stunned by the result. I really hope she gets the opportunity to do as much art as she wants. |
