Fania’s inspirations rise from the French Post Impressionism, Cubism and Pop Art of the Twentieth Century. Her work reflects the work of so many artists, designers, illustrators and sculptors who had a profound influence on her work because of the colors, shapes, strength and whimsicalness. Just to name a few: Yayoi Kusama, Alexander Calder, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Jack Youngerman, Allessandro Mendini, Keith Haring, Gustav Klimt, Joan Miro, Henri Matisse, and Gary Baseman. Working mostly on canvas or board, she creates vibrant and colorful collages with acrylics, graffiti images, patterns, fabrics, textured materials, found objects and printed materials.
