Carina Francioso - Fine Artist
Member Since: 12/31/2010
Carina is a model and fashionista who paints with oils on canvas. After completing an honours Fine Art degree at the University of Waterloo she decided to explore the positive and negative representations of fashion, beauty, and consumerism, through her paintings of lips. The themes of sensuality and sexuality are developed as lips can speak a thousand words without having to utter a sound. In her work Carina uncovers a beautifully represented industry strewn with harmful or dangerous underlying issues.
Several trips to Italy have helped Carina stay in touch with her Italian roots and she has always been intrigued by the fact that the cultural identity of her ancestors lies deeply rooted in the art and religion of the people.
Carina strives to bring out the best elements of her heritage in the work she produces. From the beautiful and seductive form of the nude body that was loved and appreciated by the great masters, to the serene and romantic rooftops of the basilicas and cathedrals of Italy, Carina creates personal pieces from a culture that is widely accepted and loved around the world.
