Francois Fressinier Works

Neo-classical romantic painter Francois Fressinier was born in Cognac, France. His father was also a painter & had a tremendous reverence for the work of the Old Masters which he passed on to Francois. "The Old Masters influenced my technique & my way of looking at the subject." Francois says. 

When Francois was just 20 years old, his family moved to Phoenix, Arizona.  Francois found himself in the midst of severe culture shock, coming from the safety of a world-renowned artists niche in France, only to land smack in the middle of the American desert. He barely spoke the language at all.
