« "I believe in colour, the order of chaos and the instinctive gesture that speaks directly to the unconscious, but also in the rationality of a profound architecture of thought." »
Francesa Fini is a prize-winning artist who’s work has gained a considerable amount of national and international exposure. Fini is an Italian painter, sculptor, photographer and textile artist who credits her start in the art world to the creation of surrealistic performance videos. The main themes of her work center around femininity, the distortion of beauty standards and society’s influence on gender issues. Her art blends media forms, including lo-fi technology, homemade video and audio recordings.
