Fressinier was born in Cognac, France on August 4, 1968. His parents were portrait photographers with businesses in Central Africa and the Charente Maritime region of France. Francois was greatly influenced by their aes-thetic teachings. His father ha a tremendous reverence for the paintings of the Old Masters and guided his son into the exploration and creation of figurative and symbolic art. Francois studied fine art at Ecole Brassartin Tours where he was exposed to the drawings, sketches and paintings of Rembrandt, Renoir, Courbet, Rubens and Delaunay. Drawing, painting and photography have been an inte-gral part of his life
from the very beginning.
