Art will enlighten your soul
Mixed Media Artist & Teacher
“I work in different techniques because it is a mirror into who I am, adventurous and always trying to learn new things, I believe that is very much reflected in my paintings”
— FranArt
Francisca Oviedo is a Chilean visual artist based in Washington DC since 2012. Francisca completed her Bachelor of Arts and Education studies in Chile. However, the trajectory of her artistic career began to develop more strongly when she moved to Washington DC to do an internship at the AMA museum. To date, she has participated in several group exhibitions in the DMV area. Francisca's work is developed in various techniques, where the main elements are texture and color. Her inspiration is in nature and memories.
My Work
The works of Fran Art are many times a trip to her past and her native country (Chile) where she lived much of her life. However, being that her work is abstract landscapes and, in some cases, reaching complete abstraction, the viewer can be transported anywhere in the world or from their own imagination.
The artist's works largely reflect her inner, optimistic and adventurous world, and that gets influenced by a particular situation she is in. The execution and election of the subjects are positive and have a personal seal. It is here that many of her creations are transformed and brought into the present.
The paintings are developed by the artist simultaneously, thus giving space to distance from some works and retake them at another time. There is a constant search and study of different techniques and materials thus transforming each of her works into a new adventure every time.
Usually the artist works in an organized environment, which allows her a discipline that is also transmitted in the final result of her artistic works.
