Francesca Sciandra
I’m an artist with a focus on painting & experiential art.
Creativity is the alchemy that transmutes suffering into expression, fear into inspiration, and loss into legacy. It enables us to tenderly hold life’s contradictions — the beauty amidst the destruction, the joy coexisting with the despair.
I’m sitting outside a cafe in Tarifa, Spain, sipping a tiny coffee, reflecting on the twists and turns of my life. I want to be in motion, so I finish my journal entry and go for a walk along the cobblestone streets of the old town, protected from the wind by the closeness of the whitewashed buildings.
As a facilitator for Julia Cameron’s renowned book The Artist's Way, one of the most powerful tools I share with participants is the Creative Affirmations. These positive statements aim to counteract the negative self-talk and doubts that can hold back artists and creatives.
