The Dominican cultural roots blend in with her training and activity developed in Italy. Her work ranges from oil painting, drawing, ink painting. Through painting she communicates her ideas and proposes a research based on the female universe, on womanÕs identity in a world where sexuality, imagination and sensibility merge. Shape and colours are used as means of expressing an inner condition through the overcoming of improvisation. The calm and austere representation with its dignified humanity celebrates the human beings in their weaknesses and differences. Maria Franca Grisolia production expresses a constant analysis that nourishes the classic figurative tradition being aware that the knowledge of the ancient art is a basic requirement for appraising modern art.

She was appointed as "Academy Associate" for Arts by the International Academy Verbano "Greci-Marino".
