Battles Painting

Francesca Roncagliolo is a Peruvian-Italian abstract painter living in Madrid Spain. She divides her day between her work as a designer and her work in the studio. In her resume there are plenty achievements since she completed her artistic studies between Lima, Vancouver and Madrid, Spain; city in which she lives since summer of 2001. Her work has been selected for different art prizes as XVI Edition de Circuitos de Artes Plásticas y Fotografía, by the Madrid Comunity, Catalonia Miquel Casablancas prize and the XII Edition of Shows 2004-2005, Centro de Arte Joven, Madrid, among others. Her work has been shown among different countries as Argentina, Chile, China, Perú, Australia, Spain and London, England. Photography, Video, sculpture, net art but mainly painting (digital and traditional) have been the mediums chosen by this artist to give away her inner feelings. Now she presents us a new turning point, as usual in her work, coming back to her studio painting practice. Inspired by abstract expresionism, action painting and modernism she works in acrylics, collage and drawing working her way from figuration to abstraction and allowing paint to be the only feature of her practice.
