Gerlanda di Francia

Gerlanda di Francia is an Italian artist whose work reclaims the raw, ambivalent power of fairy tales. Through her paintings, she resists the modern tendency to soften or silence these stories, instead embracing their dual nature: destructive, in their confrontation with chaos and evil, and constructive, in their call to transformation and resilience.
Working primarily in oil on canvas and pen drawing, Gerlanda employs classical techniques to give her dreamlike, fantastical visions a striking presence and intensity.. Her imagery draws on the archetypes of childhood tales, brave princesses and knights, but also ogres, witches, and dragons, symbols of the fears and struggles that persist into adult life. Associated with the Italian Surrealist Pop movement, Gerlanda di Francia explores the tragedy and beauty of everyday existence through myth as a way to remind viewers that only by facing our inner shadows can we emerge stronger.
