Art makes me feel more sublime and I really like opening new artists to myself, understanding their own aesthetics and unique conceptions. I can say that the paintings of Francis Sills weren’t able to leave me indifferent and caught my eyes. It is so interesting to deepen into his creative activity and become closer to it. I can say that this interview was able to reveal his personality in a wonderful way and helped me to pick up some new useful information. I am amazed by the complexity of the pictures drawn by Francis and his absolutely special approach to this process of painting. The fact that I hadn’t seen something like this before this moment blows my mind because I think that Francis is unique in his field and he creates an unusual atmosphere in his pictures, paying attention to details and subtleties that is not so easy. For me, his own art is incomprehensible. Thank you loads for such an inspirational article which gave me an opportunity to delve into the world of art to a greater extent!

I love those collages and especially, those beautiful drawings. The processes of working and improvising from direct observation are both reminiscent of many artists whose work is inspired by Cezanne’s example, and wholly original and fresh. The collages and oils have a directness of color and drawing that makes me think of Cezanne’s watercolors. I’m surprised watercolor or even flash acrylic isn’t part of the explorations. Thanks for the article and the powerful work.
