Pauline Fransson at Spazio Sassetti, Florence

And now I fell as bodies fall, for dead

 

Created during her residency in Florence, the work arises from sustained encounters with the city’s devotional spaces—Santa Maria Novella, and other churches, and the fresco cycles that shape their architecture. Fransson draws not from depiction but from structure: partitioned panels, quiet geometries, and the sense of multiple worlds held in parallel.

Working with pigments mixed by hand, shifting between egg tempera and oil, Fransson creates surfaces that hold both clarity and drift. The paintings function as fractured interiors—segments, thresholds, and soft ruptures—where emotional, spatial, and bodily states coexist within a single frame.
