"My passion is to paint the human figure in all of its intricacies of beauty and life. I am not interested in pure realism, to have a touch of magic in my work is what I strive for." - François Fressinier
Fressinier’s process for painting involves a bit of sketching, however; he takes greater pleasure in being alone in his studio, letting his paintings speak to him and watching them appear progressively and without force.
He is also passionate about painting, and also enjoys spending time with his two children, gardening, reading, and playing guitar. He credits his wife, Colette, with being his muse and considers his faith in God central to his being.
Fressinier’s paintings have been exhibited and collected throughout the United States and internationally.
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.
