Franco E. is a visual artist living and working in Montreal, Canada. Raised by his single mother, he learned to hold a pen and trace a line before walking on his two feet.
His sensual and captivating drawings take us into a world where the body plays freely. Vibrant colours highlight curves and expressions, influenced by cubism and the aesthetic concept of Japanese Ma. In this way a range of emotions and ideas are offered, free to escape in his sublimated bodies.
