spaces are some of the peculiarities that characterize Francesco Cima’s paintings. After relentless

experimentation, landscape has become his favoured genre. In Cima’s landscapes the human figure rarely

appears, offering greater space to other living species, or alternatively to treasured objects of his imagination.

Through thinly painted brushstrokes, Cima does not simply render views, but vast territories where infinitely

many dimensions can find refuge, pushing the material confines of the oil painting beyond the imaginable.

Although the topographical richness of Versilia (north-western Tuscany) remains one of the main sources of

inspiration for the artist, a territory rich with sea, hills and mountains, there is no lack of vast deserts, Venice

cityscapes and other mysterious lands in his paintings. The main file rouge in his works, is the presence of

a crepuscular light that softly embraces the majority of his settings, echoing the emotional reverberations of

Romanticism, to which Cima feels strongly indebted to.
