Fabriano in Aquarello 2026

A group of 61 Romanian watercolor artists will exhibit at the Fabriano in Aquarello 2026, the most prestigious event of its kind worldwide. This year’s edition brings together 1,774 watercolor artists from 90 countries.

The festival will take place in Bologna and Fabriano, Italy, between April 21–26, 2026. The event is open to all those interested in watercolor techniques—established artists, enthusiasts, young talents, as well as the general public who wish to visit the exhibition or attend dedicated workshops. The most important manufacturers of specialized materials will also be present, including paper, pigments, brushes, and watercolor accessories.



I will also exhibit a watercolor painting of a seascape from the Maldives at the Fabriano International Watercolor Festival 2026.

From the boat’s swift motion, a few drops splashed against my face. They came from that water of unreal beauty, shifting in hues from turquoise to indigo, the waters of the Indian Ocean over which we glided, drifting among the coral atolls of the Maldives. And it was no dream – it was truly a holiday! In memory of those moments I painted these watercolors.

The 20 works that will be physically exhibited at Fabriano are not just 20 paintings—they are 20 voices of our team. Although each watercolor carries a personal vision and its own voice, they are united by a common path: the joy of creation. These works carry the support of all the other members of our team.

This year, for the Masters Gallery, we have selected two established artists: Mircea Corcodel and Gabriela Drăghici.

For the New Entry Gallery, Romania is represented by two “new” artists: Oana Maria Bucur and Ana Maria Șerban.

Our participation in Fabriano is the result of the work of people passionate about watercolor, and I thank them all: those who submitted works to the platform, those who will attend the festival with us even if they do not have exhibited works, and all those who paint and form this wonderful Romanian watercolor community.

Desi fiecare acuarelă poartă o viziune personală si are o voce proprie, sunt unite de un drum comun: bucuria de crea. Aceste lucrări poartă susținerea tuturor celorlalți membri ai echipei noastre.
Anul acesta am selectat pentru galeria maeștrilor 2 artiști consacrați: Mircea Corcodel si Gabriela Drăghici.
Pentru galeria New entry România are 2 artisti “noi”: Oana Maria Bucur si Ana Maria Serban.
Participarea noastră la Fabriano este rezultatul muncii unor oameni pasionați de acuarelă si le mulțumesc tuturor. Tuturor celor care au participat cu lucrări în platformă, celor care merg cu noi la festival chiar daca nu au lucrări expuse si tuturor celor care pictează si care formează aceasta minunată comunitate a acuarelir românesti.
