"...He has already, it would seem, evolved a personal, if idiosyncratic, style that is both curiously erotic and witty. He is also a superb draftsman, as four of his drawings that conclude this exhibit will confirm."

- from exhibition at MOCA

"Portraits with malleable and distorted faces, patched-up silhouettes and bodies like flowing wax, in a very organic surrealism that keeps the beauty of an oddly sensuous and arousing feminity."

- from Incubus choice

"Beautiful nude women emerging from the cold bones of death. Strange statues with naked breasts standing on top of the world. Rooted in both the new media and the richness of the art tradition, the digital erotic art of Francesco D'Isa is amazing and of an unreal, sometimes macabre beauty."

- from Art of Love
