The artwork is a mosaic made of shaped glazed terracotta tiles on a wooden support. The colors are very bright. The mosaic belongs to the “cities series”, freely inspired by ancient images of medieval Tuscan villages and cities. These images with a medieval flavor, with houses, towers, walls surrounding the city, have always given me a feeling of dream and it is this characteristic that I want to represent in my mosaics. Here the subject is Pisa, the city where I live. The shape of the city is a "cup" that contains it in a fantastic and imaginary vision. My research focuses on the study of space and the composition of forms: what appears is a tangle of lines and surfaces that follow each other harmoniously in a series of houses, churches, walls, streets.

Always passionated about figurative art, Nicoletta De Francesco began her career as a ceramic artist in the mid-1990s.
