Art that tells what words cannot say

Welcome

Commissioned paintings, from canvas to wall

I am Francesca Ciurleo, known as Francy Love Art: a full-time painter, half Italian and half English: I live in Rome and have also worked in England. I paint on canvas, on pallet wood and directly on walls, indoors and outdoors, even in very large formats. I work in oil, in acrylic and with paints made to last inside and outside. I create artworks for hotels and fine apartments in Rome, throughout Italy, in England and abroad, and I teach painting to anyone who wants to start or improve.

The works

Three surfaces, one language

Palette full of oil paints
Why choose her

A work made for that space

Every painting starts with a conversation: what it should say, where it will go, who will look at it every day. From there we choose the surface, the technique and the format, so the artwork is not an object leaning on a wall but part of the room.

  • Oil, acrylic and specific paints for indoors and outdoors
  • Canvas, pallet wood or straight onto the wall
  • Very large formats too, up to entire walls
  • Original subjects or reinterpretations of the great masters
  • Rome, Italy, England and the rest of the world: no limits on location

Do you have an artwork in mind?

Tell me the idea, the space and the size: I will reply on WhatsApp with a proposal.

The artist

«Find what you love and let it kill you»

My art comes from seeing the beauty in things, bringing it out and passing on an emotion to whoever looks at it. Bukowski's line is how I see painting: a full-time passion, not a pastime. I paint figures, faces, bodies and light, with a love for warm colours and for the great themes of art history, from Cupid and Psyche to the Creation of Adam.

Techniques and materials

From canvas to wall

I use oil on canvas, where depth and nuance matter; acrylic on pallets and on work that needs faster drying times; and specific paints for walls, chosen according to where I am painting: indoors, outdoors, spaces exposed to sun and damp.

Exhibiting and at work

In front of my work

At exhibitions, between one painting and the next, and on site in front of a wall still to be finished: this is where you see that painting, for me, is a full-time job.

Commissioned works

Canvas, pallet or wall

Every surface has its own character. Pick the one that suits your space, or tell me about the project and we will choose together.

Oil on canvas, made to measure

Canvas is the classic format: figures, portraits, animals, subjects inspired by the great masters or born from an idea of yours. Every painting is commissioned, in the size and with the subject you choose.

Portraits and figures

People, couples, moments to remember: from a photograph or an idea, in oil on canvas.

Animals

A portrait of your dog or cat, painted with the care of a true portrait.

Tributes to the masters

Reinterpretations of famous works, designed to speak with your interiors.

Paintings on pallets

Raw wood becomes art

A wooden pallet, with its gaps and grain, becomes the surface of a painting: the image runs across the boards and the breaks between them become part of the work. That is how my Cupid and Psyche and my icons on pallets were born, from Frida Kahlo to Charlie Chaplin, John Lennon and Marilyn. Unique, striking pieces that look great in a loft, a bar or a hotel lobby.

Acrylic on wood

Full, bright colours that hold well on wood and last over time.

One-of-a-kind pieces

No two pallets are the same: no artwork is ever repeated.

For venues and spaces with character

Lobbies, restaurants, lofts and spaces with an industrial or contemporary style.

Wall painting

The wall is the canvas

I paint directly on walls, indoors and outdoors, even on very large surfaces: an original subject, a landscape, a trompe l'oeil or a detail from a masterpiece, like Michelangelo's Creation of Adam. With the right paints the work lasts, outdoors too.

Indoors

Living rooms, bedrooms, corridors, lobbies and halls: the artwork is born on the wall and becomes part of it.

Outdoors

Facades, courtyards, terraces and gardens, with paints made for outdoor use.

Large scale

From a panel above the sofa to an entire wall: no format is too large.

Hotels and residences

Art for hotels and fine homes

I create paintings and wall paintings for hotels, hospitality venues and prestigious apartments, in Rome, throughout Italy, in England, where I have already worked, and abroad. There are no limits on location: I travel wherever the wall is.

Hotels

An artwork guests remember

A lobby, a restaurant, a corridor, the rooms: a painting designed for that space gives the property character and becomes part of its identity. I work with the hotel's theme and colours, on canvas, on pallets or straight onto the wall: this is the pallet piece I was commissioned to paint for a hotel's dining room.

Let's talk about the project
Fine apartments

Your home, one of a kind

In a fine apartment an original artwork makes all the difference compared with any mass-produced print: a subject you choose, in the right size, in the colours of your interiors. A canvas to hang or an entire painted wall.

How I work

From the idea to the finished work

1. You tell me about the space

Photos, measurements, the style of the room and what you would like to see on the wall or canvas.

2. We choose subject and technique

Together we decide on the subject, colours, surface and format that suit best.

3. I paint

In the studio for canvases and pallets, on site for wall paintings: a unique piece, made for that place and no other.

Painting lessons

Learn to paint, in oil or acrylic

I teach painting to complete beginners and to those who already paint and want to improve: technique, colour, light, composition. Lessons are one-to-one or in groups, in oil or acrylic, and the path adapts to each student. They are open to everyone from 16 to 90: a passion for art has no age.

One-to-one

A lesson just for you

We work on your painting, at your pace: fix a detail, learn a technique, move forward with a personal project. It is the fastest way to grow.

Group

Painting together

Small groups, each at their own easel: you learn technique step by step and share with others. A pleasant way to devote time to painting regularly.

Oil painting

Colours, glazes and blending: the technique of the great masters, step by step.

Acrylic painting

It dries fast and forgives mistakes: ideal for starting out and experimenting.

For every level

From your very first brush to years of painting: the course is built around you.

My work

An exhibition that never closes

Before commissioning a work, it is only right to see how I paint: the style, the colours, the subjects I feel are mine. Here you will find a good part of my work, side by side as in an exhibition: oil and acrylic canvases, pallets, portraits and murals. Tap an image to see it larger.
