About Francisca Rosner

Francisca Rosner is a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Amsterdam. She works across painting, photography, sculpture, and textile-based installations. Her practice spans layered oil paintings, analog and digital photography, mixed media objects, stitched textiles, and conceptual installations involving light and color.

Rosner is best known for her atmospheric color compositions, often with a dreamlike or poetic quality. Her work explores perception, memory, and the emotional resonance of materials through a refined interplay of color, texture, and form. She often reflects on sensory experience and the materiality of light, blending abstraction with suggestive figuration and layering techniques.

Her recent and past projects include:

  • The Blue Zone (2024), in collaboration with the Van Eesteren Museum
  • The Digital Forest (2009), a traveling installation in collaboration with the Stedelijk Museum
    Groen (2010), a community-based project on awareness of the color green
    Radio Red (2004), a spoken word and visual research project in collaboration with Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen
    Art and the City (2014–2025), a self-initiated educational institute active in seven Dutch cities.
