FRANCESCA CHASSEREAU



Name: Francesca C
Age: 20
Country: US
Website: http://bloodcurdlingcreams.deviantart.com

At which age did you start creating art? And why do you feel compelled to create?
When I was about four, my sister's detailed artwork inspired me to start creating my own. I feel I have to create something because it is a part of me and how I put myself out into the world.


What are you inspired by? And who do you look up to?
I am inspired by people who don't make artwork normally. Maybe they doodle once in a while but it always amazes me how creative their minds are and they don't know it! I look up to my mother because she can work with any medium. She can do anything.

If you had to put up one piece of artwork on your wall and stare at it for a year, who would it be by and why?
A piece of artwork by my uncle. I just found it a couple days ago. It has a warm feeling.

Tell us about your creative process.
always start off with a detailed pattern and I play with it for a while until I decide how I want to use it. It always ends up as clothes on a person.


As an artist, are you Technical or passionate?
I try to be techinical but I have never been that way!

How do you determine when a work is finished? Or is it ever finished?
None of my artwork is ever finished. I can think of so many ways to change them but eventually I find something that satisfies me enough to think it is finished.
Do you have any magic cures for creative blocks?
Looking at vintage portraits and clothes.


Which art mediums and brands do you prefer to use?
I use cheap markers and pens. Most of my work is digital.


What kind of career do you ultimately want? And what kind of career do you think you'll end up having (or already have) realistically?
I would love to work with textiles but I am aiming to be a translator instead.

Is your family supportive of your art? Who influenced and nurtured your creativity most?
My whole family is artistic in some way and they are always supportive.

Which direction do you see your art heading in the future?
I think it will always be a hobby for me.
