Lukas Fambri (born in Innsbruck, Austria, 1985) is an Austrian fine artist, portraitist and illustrator. His passion for art emerged in the early 2000s at the start of a decade-long period of reclusion caused by mental health struggles, which significantly limited his engagement in daily life. In response, Fambri began to self-study and use art as a means to cope with his isolation and to mitigate some of the negative effects of his condition. Over the following years, his unique, out of necessity dedication greatly influenced his development into a gifted artist who prefers to remain outside established rules and conventions.

Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, he exclusively focused on portrait and figurative drawing, steadily honing his skills in an autodidactic fashion, achieving considerable skills in these fields. After nearly a decade in seclusion, Fambri took his first steps into the public art scene in the 2014, showcasing works that had remained unseen for years. Exhibiting both locally and internationally over the following years, he steadily gained recognition for his masterfully crafted works.

“Ever since his first exhibitions a few years ago, Lukas Fambri has become an indispensable figure in the local art world. He is one of the ‘silent ones’ within the artist community, using every free minute to refine his skills. Lukas Fambri primarily engages with works concerning the perception of the human psyche and its psychology, through which he manages to create stunning representations of his perceived reality. The development of mental health issues left the artist isolated for several years, but at the same time, they provided him with the opportunity to dedicate himself more deeply to his artistic skills. This self-education enabled him to acquire the knowledge and techniques of drawing in an independent manner. In retrospect, it can be said that this very disposition has made his remarkable talent unmistakably visible.”
