Background
Francesco Barresi creates an off the wall art expression, with elements of the avant-garde offered within a minimalist but unique expression. Offering fun, speedy, charcoal sketches and live performance painting shows for corporate, Christmas, wedding, and other events or venues. Cutting edge artwork, with fun and unique, vibrant expression is offered with various subject matter.
Francesco feels that it’s important to constantly communicate with the public to create the most authentic artwork that will leave even the most hardcore critic with only positive remarks. There are two reasons firstly, Francesco loves the social aspect of creating art for others and secondly, creating art that others want (rather than just ONLY a muse) is a means of being a cut above of just HAPPY HANDS.
Francesco Art encompasses many aspects of artistic expression. People desire art for various occasions and usually it’s fun, sociable, and sometimes can be a whimsical experience. Art is a format as both entertainment and a form of stress relief. Too much art these days is seen as highbrow or highfalutin making it a deterrent for many to engage or experience it. Francesco Art aims to bring back the FUN in Art.
Over the last 2 decades I’ve been a travelling International Artist and teacher. Currently I’m back in Australia and am wanting to create more new fresh artwork in the signature style that I’ve developed via my international travel and experiences.
Training
I’m a SALA Aussie artist. I’ve got a BA in Visual Arts from SA university as well as a Master’s in Education With art major from RMIT University in Melbourne.
