About Francesca Càndito

Art is a form of absolute dedication, which must be cultivated every day and every day must be pushed up with care and tenacity. This is my life, my job. A difficult, intense, tormented job; that makes it rise and fall like a swing. I explore and express the contemporaneity, because I find our age extremely interesting with all its contradictions and nuances. Painting allows me to connect with the environment around me; it is a means that allows me to focus on details, compare, reorganize, interfere, cut and paste everyday life expand perception. I start from images of everyday life taken by me or cut from newspapers, I start from those faces that slowly change and emerge as if they already existed. I also come to paint with my hands because the material belongs to me so much enter in. Every search is a huge effort of empathy, I immerse myself night and day and then bring back to life, which in the end they belong to me, because I lived them in depth. So when I do a research on mental health I arrive almost to feel the acrid taste of the tablets,depth. So when I do a research on mental health I come to almost feel the acrid taste of the tablets, feel my arms stuck in a straitjacket, I lose my strength then reacquire them when everything is in balance. The letters that float on the dark stage to bring out forgotten people, the laces of a story of courage, dragonflies and butterflies, which bring the freedom and lightness that was missing. She is followed with continuity and great professionalism by the critic and art historian Luigi Marsiglia.
