“The paintings are photo-realistic, but there’s much more at play. Small, painstaking brushstrokes coax motion from the waves, a shimmer from the highlights and spray from the frothy bubbles rising from unseen forces. The watery hues build and and recede, luring the imagination into unknown depths.” 

– GRAND Magazine

“Her oeuvre is a reflection of where she’s been and where she’s going, and now she’s found a subject matter we can all relate to — something important to everyone and everything on earth, that has a connection from one place to the next.” 

– Panoram Italia Magazine

“Ritrare il mare, un ambiente che racchiude in se mille emozioni e che evoca ricordi e aspettative è un’abilità che la contraddistingue e le ha portato premi, mostre e riconoscimenti al livello internazionale.”
“Painting the sea, an environment that contains a thousand emotions and evokes memories and expectations is an ability that distinguishes her and has brought her many awards, exhibitions and international recognition.”

– RAI Italia

Carina Francioso with one of her paintings

Canadian Italian painter

“Water is my subject, but time is my medium. A wave exists for an instant; the painting of it takes months. The realism is not an end in itself. It is an invitation to slow looking.”

Works held in private collections internationally, including Her Highness Sheikha Latifa
