About The Artwork
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. Her artworks are mosaics made of terracotta shaped tiles glazed in bright colors, depicting images freely inspired by medieval iconography. Nicoletta De Francesco’s technique consists in sketching an initial paper scheme, then used to decompose a sheet of clay into different shaped tiles, which are subsequently fired in the ceramic kiln and then glazed and fired a second time. The mosaic is then reassembled on a wooden support. The artist's production also includes tiles and pendants also in ceramics. The artworks of Nicoletta De Francesco are permanently exposed in her Atelier: Studio d’arte Barbuti – De Francesco, Via dei Mille 22 Pisa, Italy. The site of the studio is: www.studiodartebdf.it.
