le voyage Painting

My painting is research into color that becomes matter, dream and meditation. It is a chromatic effervescence of layered emotions where wounds have dissolved into vitality. Ever since I was a child I have always loved to paint, but only recently have I begun to express this passion publicly. In my painting, I create fundamentally abstract images and landscapes which are characterized by very strong chromatic hues and shades. My work with moving images—video—is undoubtedly an influence. For the past two decades I have been creating various social and artistic documentaries where my research has always been aligned with a social and personal commitment to relate the weakest and most painful of human conditions on the planet. I realize documentaries in Latin America, Africa, India, Ethiopia, Japan, Saudi Arabia as well as in Italy for various Italian and foreign TV channels. In some of my paintings I take up the themes that I have confronted in my work on documentaries. I love mixing various artistic forms: photography, video, painting. www.lizfrancia.com
