Eduardo Fausti was born in Mendoza, Argentina. He attended the University of Mendoza, where his architectural studies were interrupted during a period 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). There, he studied printmaking with Robert Flynn Johnson, who at the time was also Curator of Prints at the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and with faculty member Larry Thomas, Dean of Academic Affairs at SFAI. Fausti spent the final 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 led Fausti to continue his studies at the China National Academy of Fine Arts in Hangzhou, People’s Republic of China, in 1995. In 1997, he earned his MFA from the Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University, New Jersey, and was awarded the Patricia Roberts Harris Fellowship in Visual Arts. That same year, Fausti participated in a collaborative project funded by Dieu Donné Paper Mill, Rutgers Center for Innovative Print and Paper (now the Brodsky Center at PAFA), and CARE International to establish an ecological handmade 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, and his work is held in the permanent collections of several public institutions and in private collections. He currently lives and works between New York City and Orcas Island, Washington, where he maintains a printmaking studio. He is represented by Harris Harvey Gallery, Seattle.
