A course by Florencia Fraschina
Florencia Fraschina is a painter and teacher, and a firm believer that painting is poetry, a form of storytelling, and a way to release inner thoughts in a state of complete freedom. She works using mixed techniques including oil paints, acrylics, ink, watercolors, and more. Her imagination is what drives her work, allowing her to examine and communicate ideas, emotions, and feelings, but above all, to explore the sensuality and vibrations transmitted by color schemes.
Her pieces have been exhibited in museums and galleries in Argentina, the United States, and France. She has also received awards and grants from institutions including the Banco Nación, Banco Ciudad, and Salón Nacional del Bicentenario.
