Francisca Sousa’s painting is a reflection of many things: plannings, actions, looks, details ... The painting thinks.
The portrait is constantly in focus as the human figure and the relationship with the body is one of the essential elements of the artwork of Francisca, which extends to the ephemerality of performance and video loop. The painting is a beginning, and also an end.
There is a deep interest in a clean and subtle pictorial technique that also knows storytelling. The portraits have watchful eyes and faces close up in tight compositions. What happened there? What a facial expression tells us? The painting is open to subjectivity.
