FRANCESCA ROSSI is a rookie artist with a great love for art and architecture, a subject in which she graduated in 2019, and that was the starting point for her artistic research.
In fact, her first collage came to life in 2017 and has as its main subject the Nordic Countries Pavilion by architect Sverre Fehn, a building located in the Biennal gardens in Venice. The architectural element, so cold and Nordic in its colors and clean lines, is invaded by the warmth and frenzy of wild animals and by luxuriant vegetation which, taking possession of it, transforms it into a real jungle. An evident contrast which, however, highlights how elements so distant from each other can live in perfect symbiosis.
Over time, Francesca Rossi’s research focuses more and more on abstract concepts, but the architectural or design element remains a central presence. As for the composition of the image, the artists who influenced her are certainly those of the cubist movement, such as Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, and the futurists, such as Umberto Boccioni. These artists, with their decomposed and fragmented images, changed the perception of space and time. Other artists that influenced Rossi are the Surrealists, with the famous René Magritte, who taught us that nothing is impossible for our inner EGO.
The creative processes that lead the artist to the materialization of the work are multiple and different from each other. Sometimes, she starts with a precise idea, having very clear the theme she will deal with, the number and type of figures involved and how it will be accomplished. The next step is researching the material, which the artist selects from books, magazines, and the Internet. Very often, however, the images found do not exactly reflect the initial concept and the work is therefore modified over time. Despite this, Francesca is firmly convinced that she has always obtained a more satisfactory result than the initial one. Another way a work can arise is exactly the opposite: letting yourself being influenced by the images found without having a clear idea. All the works reflect the artist’s personality: even those on commission, where one is limited by the client’s request, show her distinctive style as the result of personal reasoning and reflections on life.
In any case, one thing is certain: for Francesca Rossi art is a very powerful weapon through which she manages to express her personal vision of the world that often hides a criticism of society shown by distressing the natural balances our eye and mind are used to.
