Filipe Franco

Bio

I was born in Ponta Delgada (1961), Azores, I studied at the center of art and visual communication “Ar.Co” in Lisbon. I participated in several collective exhibitions, had several individual exhibitions and developed projects with public intervention. I’am represented in private and public collections.

Initially like a tool for my artistic work, now I assume the photography like
my principal hobby. In this way, the presented images reflect varied aesthetic
preoccupations that can be divided in two vectors: Images of illustrative character :
registers for my artistic work (register of works and notes); artistic photography
(like autonomous discipline).

I mainly use flickr as a backup to my work and my photoblog:observer, and my homepage filipe franco contemporary art ; I participate also in the onexposure project . Occasionally post photographs here that might not appear on my blogs.

I live and work on the Island of São Miguel, Azores - Portugal.
