Hi, I’m Frank…welcome, in daily life I’m involved in graphic design and photography as Art director in an architecture, design and communication planning studio.

For about twenty years I have been carrying on my project that is based on the representation of disillusionment aesthetics, a theme dear to me since I have always found it much more interesting to tell about a beauty “other” than the clichés of the standardized one. My portraits tell of singularities, of particularities, of imperfect faces and lives…of that “apparent ugliness” that when taken with ironic lightness turns into absolute beauty, into the beauty of the unusual.

In my artistic life I have gone through different styles and experimented with different techniques, from digital graphic design projects to mixed techniques on a photographic basis, my search went on until one day rummaging through in my old materials I found the improbable sketches of my early work, and BOOM! it was the simple uncorrupted vision of it all! what I was stubbornly searching for I had been preserving forever among the unconscious folds of my papers…at that moment I decided therefore to go back to stripping myself of all techniques to rejoin my initial form, starting anew with the desire for portraiture that has generated in me this ironic love of “apparent ugliness” that has always so amused me.
