The “Details” series was born after a number of experimentations with oil pastels and acrylics on portraits. Francesca wanted to narrate moments of life throughout just details, whether they are looks on people's faces or specific moments that could seem unimportant but that pieced together become life. She chose not to reveal the identity of the people she portrayed because she only wanted to focus on the concept of the human form. From the colours she chooses to portray them it's not possible to recognise the ethnicity or sometimes not even the gender of the person behind the portrait but they do reveal their essence and emotions. She then chose to select only one detail from each portrait. This made them more abstract and at the same time more human because all we are left with is details that are common to every human being: eyes, noses, mouths. The series is titled Details accompanied only by the initial letter of the first name of the person behind the portrait.
