Texas artist Fran di Giacomo finds herself most
excited by the methods and concepts of the
Dutch masters. "I focus on seeking out living
masters to study with. Perfecting the drama of
light, shadow, and mystery has been a constant
theme. Classical realism is endless and enduring."

To test a painting for the drama she seeks, Di
Giacomo literally turns out the light. "A painting
must glow in the dark. Then I know it's finished. In
a client's home, the light from sun up to bedtime
is constantly changing. My paintings take on a
different personality with each lighting condition.
But in every situation, the drama must be there."

Di Giacomo and her husband travel extensively
in search of inspiration and artifacts for her
paintings. She enjoys using rich tapestries and
artifacts from diverse cultures. When you behold
a Di Giacomo painting you return to the world
of quiet elegance.
