Fabian usually begins with drawings and digital sources, organising his motifs on the canvas in accordance with them without paying overmuch attention to the rules of perspective or harmonious proportions. Sometimes a single object takes on a surprising, yet incontestable pictorial value; at others, it is as if the painter has used a building kit to manufacture extremely dense urban spaces. There are also abstract passages, pure planes of colour, voids inserted among things. He also paints patterns and grid structures that temporarily pen up the pictorial space.
