For over 25 years, he has brought his bold, dynamic artwork to clients across industries—including Fortune 500 companies—in advertising, editorial, publishing, and the toy & game markets.

His commercial illustrations have earned recognition from esteemed organizations such as the Society of Illustrators of New York and the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles.

Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Fian grew up as a U.S. Army brat, traveling the world and living in places like Japan, Panama, and various U.S. states. He later earned a BFA in Commercial Art from Texas State University before launching his freelance career in Miami, Florida. In 2014, he relocated to Asheville, North Carolina, where he expanded into the world of fantasy art alongside his commercial illustration work. Today, his fantasy pieces can be found in galleries across the Southeast.

Now based in Weaverville, North Carolina, Fian lives under the benevolent dictatorship of his wife, two kids, a Great Pyrenees, and a mortgage.
