Frustrated with his daughters issues and surrounded by feelings of a sea of sorrow from other parents in the same situation, Fabio grew. When his wife and daughter slept, Fabio walked the Hospital corridors of the children's care unit looking for where he could sketch out his personal feelings and inspiration. From these thoughts a new forms of creativity was born within the artists works. The doors to Fabio Napoleoni's heart opened to express in art works for the world to experience.
