“I have followed and admired the stunning artistry of Canadian artist, Carina Francioso for some time on Instagram and Facebook.  I am taken by her realistic portrayal of water scenes in conjunction with the power and beauty of the female form.  Once I decided on a piece for my home, Carina was extremely easy to deal with and followed the delivery right to the end ensuring everything went as planned!  I would highly recommend to anyone inspired as I am with her body or work, to reach out and secure your own part of her collection! (@artistcarina on Instagram)”

“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!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“I follow you since 2019 when I found one of your works, since then. I love the sea, it is a very difficult element to paint and you know very well how to reflect all the emotions of the ocean (peace, uneasiness, strength, etc.) As if it were to overflow from the archival art paper. I am very grateful to have “Aloha” with me. The depth, the mix of colours, the realism… No words! I hope to be able to buy a work of yours in the near future 💙  Thank you very much, I will take very good care of your artwork!!!!! 🥰”

“Carina captures the senses of water so well in her paintings that you find yourself feeling its freshness as you listen to the rolling of the waves while watching the sun rays dancing and reflecting their light as they bounce along the water.  Carina is truly a gifted artist and she brings out the energy in her paintings.  I have never met an artist who can capture these sensations like Carina does!”

“After I met Carina a couple of years ago, I have been following her work and hoped to one day own a piece of my own. That day has arrived and I am in love with “The Sea of the Soul” that is hanging in our den. I purchased the picture framed and Carina was an amazing help in guiding me in the selection of frames and colours available. Working with Carina for both the purchase online and the framing was effortless, professional and also personal. When I saw the completed print I was instantly in love with it. This is a work of art that I will cherish for many years in my home. Thank you Carina.”
