About her Art
I have been exhibiting internationally since 2009, my paintings and ceramics have been awarded  internationally and been included in several international art books and publications.

In my works I want to tell stories that give a visual form for human virtues, feelings and vices. The paintings are created mostly on recycled canvases,vintage table clothes, that give surface structure and connect both the artist and the viewer to past generations.

“Anneli Di Francis, Finnish artist, combines in her works the unreality, visionaries and anxiety of the most classic Surrealism with the tendency to analyze and deeply explore the concept typical of Metaphysics, giving life to a fascinating style that on the one hand shakes the observer for her strong images of great emotional impact, but on the other hand induces him to meditate on himself, on the destiny that goes day after day building, and to open his mind considering possible scenarios that could be outlined in the future world.”
