Artist Roman Frances
Jose Miguel
Roman Frances, Spanish painter, was born in Alcoy, Alicante, Spain. At The age
of fourteen he began to paint in the workshop of Gaspar Frances Rico. Rico
became more of a friend than a teacher, and his work influenced Frances'
artistic formation. Frances' work is characterized by its superb draftsmanship
and the feeling of light that he manages to reflect in everything that inspires
him. His paintings are employed lavishly, with dense buildups in the floral
groupings and the landscapes surrounding the female figures which are the core
and focus from which all else radiates. His work can be found in many important
public and private collections in over 30 countries, including the United
States, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Great Britain, The United Emirates,
Japan, Mexico and Canada. He has had more than 50 personal exhibitions and had
participated in many collective exhibitions. He has exhibited at El Greco, the
Gaudi and the Castellon 120 in Madrid, the Sala Gabernia and Segrelles in
Valencia, the Sala Florins in Barcelona and Bandit in Malaga, among others.
