A former civil engineer, Macri won the first presidential runoff ballotage in Argentina’s history and became the first democratically-elected, non-Radical or Peronist president since 1916.
Fabian holds Macri in high regard for taking such a difficult challenge, to lead a country like Argentina. Especially being the son of one the wealthiest families of the country, and having been raised with great privilege. A person who could have chosen to do whatever he wanted, in any place in the world, and yet decides to take the reins of a broken and tough country as a challenge.
The official portrait was later presented in The Olivos House, through a private meeting with Macri and the first lady Juliana Awada, on December of 2017.
During Fabian’s first visit to the president on July 2017, Fabian took a photoshoot that was then used to create the official Portrait for the President.
On the same occasion, a painting of Mauricio Macri and his family was gifted by the artist.
