Eduardo Fausti was born in Mendoza, Argentina. He attended the University of Mendoza where his architectural studies were interrupted during years of turmoil. He emigrated to the United States in 1978 and settled in New York. In 1988, he moved to California where he resumed his studies at the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI); he spent the last semester of his undergraduate studies at SACI (Studio Art College International) in Florence, Italy, before receiving his BFA in 1993. An interest in Asian Philosophy and Aesthetics moved Fausti to continue his studies at the China National Academy of Fine Arts in Hangzhou, People’s Republic of China in 1995. In 1997, Fausti earned his MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University, New Jersey, and was the recipient of the Patricia Roberts Harris Fellowship in Visual Arts. That same year Fausti participated in a joint Dieu Donné Paper Mill, Inc., Rutgers Center for Innovative Print and Paper (now Brodsky Center at PAFA) and CARE International funded project to establish an ecological hand-made paper mill in Ecuador. Fausti has been an artist-in-residence in Belgium, Italy and Morocco. He has participated in numerous national and international juried print exhibitions. Several public and private institutions count his work among their permanent collections such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The New York Public Library, NY; The Library of Congress, Washington DC; The Zimmerli Art Museum, New Brunswick, NJ; The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA; The Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, Fine Art Museums of San Francisco, CA; The Ekaterinburg Museum of Fine Arts, Ekaterinburg, Russia; and, The Guanlan Print Art Museum of Fine Arts, PRC. He currently lives and works between New York City and Orcas Island, Washington where he maintains a printmaking studio. His prints can be acquired at Harris Harvey Gallery, Seattle, WA.
Most of my recent work involves the printmaking medium and is inspired by my observations of the natural environment of the San Juan Islands, Washington; they echo an awareness of the ever-changing surrounding terrain and waters making up these majestic islands.
