Hello, I’m Frank… Welcome. I am 47 years old. In my daily life I am an Art Director in an Architectural, Design and Communication Firm. My job is detailed in Graphics and Photography.
For the past twenty years I have been carrying out my project which is based on the representation of aesthetic disenchantment. It is a theme that is dear to me because I have always found it much more interesting to talk about a beauty “other” than the clichés of the standardized one.
My art speaks of singularities, of particularities, of imperfect faces and lives …, of that “apparent ugliness” which if taken with a slight ironic lightness, is transformed into absolute beauty, into the beauty of the unusual.
In my artistic life I have crossed styles and experimented with different techniques, from digital graphic projects to mixed techniques on a photographic basis. My research continued until when, one day, while looking through my old materials, I found the improbable sketches of my first works, and BOOM! it was the simple uncorrupted vision of everything! That which I had persisted in searching for, had always been kept away in the unconscious folds of my papers … At that moment I decided then and there, to go back and strip myself of all the techniques I had acquired, so that I could reunite with my initial form, starting all over again with the desire for portraits which generated in me, this ironic love for the “apparent ugliness” that has always amused me very much.
