Alleged Origin Story
Patrick Fatica is an American artist and filmmaker based in Winter Park, Florida—specializing in dream-noir atmospheres, and other fine emotional disturbances. Through meticulously stylized visuals and story-forward design, he builds immersive worlds that linger long after the curtain drops and the screen goes dark.
Described as “a fever dream you don’t want to leave,” his artwork/design, animated films, and theatrical work orbit characters under pressure—fragile, fierce, and unmistakably human. The look pulls from surrealism and noir with a printmaker’s grit and a cinematic hush: delicately haunting, uncomfortably intimate, and hard to shake.
For over 20 years, Patrick has created gallery exhibitions, short films, and original stage productions, always hunting the same sweet spot: where beauty meets bruising truth. “I’m always searching for the space between emotion and aesthetic,” he says. “That’s where the most interesting stories live.”
With his creative co-conspirator Blue Star, Patrick is also the visual and narrative architect behind multiple Varietease productions—a cult-favorite performance series blending dance and theater with striking design and cinematic mood. “Varietease is part show, part séance,” he says. “It’s about conjuring beauty and danger in the same breath.”
No matter the medium, the mission stays the same: follow the image that won’t let go, shape it into a world, and let it breathe—gorgeous, slightly dangerous, and entirely its own.
