Testimonials From Collectors

Sotto lo stesso sole (Under The Same Sun)

“Carina’s talent and passion are a gift to everyone who is fortunate enough to have one of her paintings in their home. Her incredible work inspires and transcends, thank you!”

– T.B. Private Collector Newport Beach, California, USA

The Sea of the Soul

“I purchased a print on canvas of “The Sea of the Soul” from Carina recently and I’d like to share what a great experience I had! I bought the piece online and I have never bought anything like that without seeing the painting in person before. Carina was very helpful and very attentive! She made me feel at ease that her work was of great quality and that I’d love the print. She even gave me ideas of framing and what would look best with that piece. What a great professional artist she is! I absolutely love the print thank you, Carina!”

M.C. Private Collector Miami, Florida, USA

Sotto lo stesso sole  (Under The Same Sun)

“Carina’s exceptional work and talent came to my attention when a friend posted a photo on Facebook of a recent acquisition. I was immediately drawn to it – the brilliance of the light beams reflecting off the water and the extreme detail of the painting – it seemed to be a photograph but was in fact a painting! This led me to Carina’s website and the many other pieces she has created. I was impressed with the range of her work that is enjoyed internationally in private collections and galleries, the many accomplishments of such a young person and of course her paintings!

So far, I have acquired three of Carina’s art prints – one on paper and two printed on canvas. The canvas prints were a new medium for me and Carina took time to explain and offer information. I absolutely love them! I find the motion of the waves with light dancing, in the ‘The Sea Of The Soul’ and ‘Under The Same Sun’, soothing and hopeful – as the perspective is both close up and out to sea. The images take me to other times spent on the water and like the waves, a feeling of serenity mixed with energy, wash over and for those moments when I stop to admire, I feel connected with nature and hopeful of the possibilities that lie ahead.

Carina went above and beyond in making each of these purchases a seamless process. She was quick to respond to emails and fulsome in her responses. She followed up with frequent updates about when the prints would be ready. She even brought one of the pieces with her when she happened to be near my home. Given the amount of time spent at home these days, I am so pleased to be surrounded by the beauty of these pieces!”

The Adriatic Glistens

“To be able to paint the warmth of the sun shining on the water seems to me to be quite an achievement! And I couldn’t resist buying “The Adriatic Glistens”. Thank you so much Carina for making this purchase to Switzerland so easy, fast and safe. This painting is just beautiful and I never get tired of looking at it!”

– D.R. Private Collector Tschugg, Switzerland

Diamonds in the Water

“I own one original painting and a few prints of Carina’s. Her work is mesmerizing, I couldn’t resist owning more than one. Each painting looks as though I could walk right into it and smell the ocean. One of my prints is kept in my wellness centre, it is a perfect addition to the room and adds a serine touch to the space. I can’t tell you how many clients have commented on it as they enter. Carina made the purchase process smooth, professional and personable. I am already trying to decide which one to buy next. Her work is addictive to stare at while sipping tea. The quality is outstanding.”

“Carina is a fabulous artist of realism. One of my favourites is the ocean art she painted in Hawaii – however that piece was sold – so we bought a different seascape oil painting. Looks great in our living room. But all of them are awesome. It’s a great feeling to view and enjoy her hyper realistic artwork.”

“Carina’s realist ocean art is even more stunning hanging in my home than can be appreciated online. People ask all the time if it’s a photograph. I tell them to look closer, and they are blown away to see the fine detail of the brush strokes. Treat yourself to one in your home!”

“Carina Francioso’s realistic oil paintings are phenomenal. I own several of her art prints and they were a great investment (they are collector pieces and increase in value). My mood is enhanced now every time I walk into the room and see her art on the wall, and this is exactly what I was looking for when purchasing art!”

Come to the River

“Water is a gift, as is Carina and her impressive body of work. As an art dealer, consultant, and admirer I truly enjoy meeting and interacting with a variety of artists. It is rare to find someone who radiates like Carina. She is so genuine, so humble, gracious, giving and promotes a deep gratitude that can be felt just through the simplest of interactions. She is very professional and takes deep care of those connected to her to make sure they receive quality and satisfaction with every piece they collect. Working with Carina is as easy as floating and her magnitude to share her gifts is endless. I hope her collector base grows and grows as she continues to excel and adapt, adding beauty to the world all the while.”
