Franklin Collao
Mexico
Born in 1982 in Tijuana, Mexico, Franklin Collao is a contemporary artist living and working between Lago di Como, Italy, and Mexico City.
Known for his vibrant oil paintings and mastery of color, Collao employs a unique sfumatura technique, softening the paint until it mimics a digital-like surface. His works have been exhibited globally in institutions like the Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes and the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art, with solo shows at Cardi Gallery and a feature in art books and publications such as Artsy.com and Domus Magazine.
