Blurb:

Notes from Imaginary Places is a collection of drawings, sketchbook pages, photographs, and paintings gathered over years of moving through landscapes and memories.

Martina Francone’s work is shaped by life between Northern Italy, Copenhagen, Brighton, and London, with shorter stops along the way in Stockholm and Berlin. Music, film, and art, as well as the natural world, homes, and the spaces we inhabit, are the themes these pages explore, where everyday life drifts into imagination.

Working with pen, coloured pencil, and oil pastel, Martina Francone transforms familiar objects, interiors, animals, and landscapes into small worlds that feel both remembered and dreamt.

Part sketchbook, part visual diary, this book is a gateway into the tiny drawings the artist created between 2020 and 2026. Through their intimate scale, these works encourage the viewer to slow down, look closer, and become absorbed in a little world where memory and dream merge.
