I rarely deal with Women who draw or paint, but in the face of Francesca Lucarini’s tenacity, I felt compelled to underline, with this small text, the work of a person who, yes, had the gift of visual memory combined with technique. , but that were it not for his total dedication to design, he would never have borne the fruits that are seen in his creations.
Annigoni always reminded me that the first ingredient to train an artist is and always will be humility, that is, never feeling good, but always trying to improve and a life is not enough.
In the faces that Francesca draws, I catch this ingredient, combined with a continuous exercise on chiaroscuro, which has led to excellent results in Lucarini’s artistic production. Especially in the face of the elderly man with a hat, she is captured, not only by the technical skill of the very sweet nuance, but in this work she has managed to bring out the spirituality and interiority of the person portrayed.
A game of balance between technique and passion, this is the characteristic of almost all of Francesca’s works, whether they are by famous people, such as Renato Zero, or by unknown people, but who become important when they pass through the design of Lucarini, who succeeds to enter the personality of each of them.
I hope that Francesca will be able to put all this baggage that she possesses also in the oil or tempera or watercolor paintings
