Meet Francesca Messina!

Meet Francesca Messina

Every month there is an 'Atelier d'expression artistique' on the Sunday morning in the Hangar. These workshops are organised and hosted by the talented artist and teacher Francesca Messina. We thought it would be a good idea to introduce her and her art a bit more to you. You can also have a look at her website: www.lasevecreative-e.monsite.com

Francesca is an Italian visual artist and art therapist. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and the Art Therapy school Aspic of Rome and lives and works in France since 10 years.


In her own artwork, she reproduces the impressions and the feelings received from the observation of the reality that surrounds her.

Nature, human body, trees and sky represent the possibility to express themselves through colors, light and shapes.

Very interested in the sense of touch as a way of nonverbal communication in art, Francesca creates works with tactile materials such as fabrics, wools and threads.

Experimentation and research in painting led her to use different artistic mediums such as acrylic paint, watercolor, oil, pastels, chalks and ink.

Aware that art and creative expression are an excellent means of contact with the deeper part of oneself, she organizes workshops of artistic expression and personal development where everyone can experience the pleasure of creation and create a process of self-knowledge through creative practice.

These workshops aim to awaken free and spontaneous expression through artistic practices such as painting, collage, drawing, clay manipulation and contact with tactile materials.

Guided by selected themes,each time different, everyone can unfold and discover their own individual creative process, experimenting with colors, shapes and materials. 

In an environment of relaxation, joy, self observation and expression, each participant is encouraged to experience the pleasure of artistic creation, following their own intuition.The attention is focused on the creative process and not on the final result, one does not looking fo the "well done" but to be oneself and to express oneself without judgment.

If you want to have a place to be yourself through creativity and live in the present moment during the process of creation, if you like sharing with others and relax and discover yourself through the development of your creativity and at the same time have fun with colors, painting, collage and  clay then Francesca's workshops are for you!

Each workshop lasts 3 hours and begins with a moment dedicated to relaxation, to get in touch with our feelings and relax the tensions of everyday life.
After the explanation of the theme everyone will work freely, choosing between the available materials. In the middle of each workshop there will be a tea-biscuits break to allow everyone to detach themselves from work. The workshop will continue with the conclusion of individual or group artistic work and we end with an exchange of the experiences.
There is no special artistic knowledge required to participate in this workshop.
