Nato e cresciuto in Umbria, comincia la carriera artistica negli anni Novanta e viene scoperto dal noto collezionista Giuseppe Panza che ne compra alcuni quadri e ne valorizza l’opera. Noto per i suoi monocromi, Fratteggiani Bianchi si concentra sul colore che, in forma di pigmento in polvere, viene applicato a mano, senza uso di collanti, sulla pietra serena. Questa particolare innovazione crea un effetto luministico e cromatico particolarmente intenso.
