INTERVIEW
/FRANCESCO RUSPOLI Born 1958 in Paris from a British mother with a French background and a Belgian father with an Italian background can sure have its benefits. Artist Francesco Ruspoli was exposed to a multitude of cultures growing up, and that was just his time at home. Not shy in his use of colour and contrast, Francesco’s work invites the viewer to make their own narrative, find their own meaning, in his work. Could you tell us a bit more about your fascinating family background? My family has roots in different European cultures mixing the South with the North, as the Germanic hard working with the frivolous Latin.
always been a very interesting experience in many ways. I have learned a lot about what a market will do to someone creativity and not follow trends and fashions. I always, therefore, tried to be true to my work following my path through each painting and evolving through each creation.
It was a very strict and hierarchical upbringing. Do you think art should be philosophical and not just aesthetically stimulating? You have been worked and been represented by various galleries I think art should be both as philosophical and aesthetically throughout your career. How significant has this collaboration stimulating especially nowadays been for you? when it seems things are getting lost as values, morals, compassion Each collaboration I had and still have with galleries and agents have and so forth. 72
