Francesca Resta is actually an artist who works mostly with digital painting,
she fell in love with this tecnique in the autumn of 2006; before this date she worked mostly with pencils and charcoals,
as she studied during her years in the artistic high school of her city.
She attended oils lessons from the italian painter Giovanni Franchi,
to learn this classical tecnique more deeply.
Now she is trying to widen her skills with the aid of the painter and illustration enthusiast Francesca Bighé
and is learning watercolor painting with Adriana Buggino
Her works have been displayed in several collective exhibitions during the past years: the illustrations made for the anniversary of the first edition of "Pinocchio" have being displayed all around the territory of Brescia, she partecipated to an exhibition about "human rights" and to "I love beauty", held during all the month of March 2009 in the Santa Giulia Museum in Brescia.
But above all, she thinks it sounds strange to talk about herself at the third person and so hates to write her bio.
You can contact Francesca directly by sending her an email to the following address: francesca@nijiart.it
