Thaci, son of an Italian mother and Albanian father, said he learned his art from studying the paintings of Michelangelo in Italy. "I know about texture, plaster, color; I studied frescoes. I am an artist," he said. When Thaci first came to the U.S. in 1994, his paintings were featured in three or four exhibitions. But recognition came when he started in the decorating business, executing designs for Italian restaurants. Now his artistry graces some of the most luxurious homes on Staten Island. And, in at least one of them, he has worked his magic on such a grand scale, the visitor feels transported to the ancient churches, palaces and museums where Fabio Thaci studied his craft.
