ABOUT FRANCESCA QUINTANO
Francesca Quintano is a Los Angeles artist currently residing in Venice Beach, California. Growing up in Los Angeles and Europe provided a wide range of visual inspiration. She completed her undergraduate studies at Tufts University/ School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles. Since childhood, Quintano knew she wanted to pursue art as a way to create a slice of reality slightly unattainable. Much of Quintano’s work combines photo surrealism and abstraction; pulling from her classical art education, her love of esoterica, and her work within the Los Angeles street art world. Quintano explores ideas of mortality and symbolism. Using nature, a vibrant palette, and representation of lush life, juxtaposed against darker and symbolically loaded imagery, she creates works that appeal to the eye while also pulling the viewer in to find hidden meanings and references within each piece.
Francesca exhibits her work extensively through solo and group shows, live paintings, murals, and a multitude of auctions. For many years she has been involved in the production and installation of shows and immersive installations, utilizing all these experiences to inform her artistic practice.
