'The painting is at the same time sharply defined and yet elusive, solid but yet ethereal, disconcerting and yet majestic. One would infer the artistic approach of a fearless character that treats reality with candor and respect for everything but by reinterpreting all renders it personal' (Claudio Strinati, 'Close-up', in V. Sgarbi, Francesca Leone, exh. cat., Venezia, 54th Esposizione Internazionale D'Arte Biennale di Venezia, Rome, May 2011, p.78)
