Francesca Biondi
I am a self-taught painter and an experienced overland traveller. I have always regarded drawing and painting as a means of exploring and expressing myself and my surroundings. I have travelled extensively in the East in search of places where community traditions and respect for nature are still alive.
My training in group facilitation enables me to create stimulating spaces for listening and reflective conversation based on the visions evoked by my artwork.
Through my travelling exhibition project, 'Towards East', which chronicles my two-year overland journey to the East, I organised art exhibitions in Italy, Turkey, India, and Nepal between 2023 and 2025. The project aimed to stimulate dialogue on the links between the East and West, as well as the universal theme of travel as an extraordinary tool for human transformation.
My research focuses on the symbols and traditional motifs of Eastern cultures, particularly Islamic geometry. This allows me to explore the purity of essential relationships that transcend the visible world, and to express the interconnectedness that binds us to all things through drawing.
