He likes to think that his work is about communicating, conveying ideas and telling stories in a poetical and compelling way. He believes that as a creative mind one does not have to limit himself by working in a certain genre only and, instead, can apply the thinking and way of solving problems to a variety of projects, both commercial and personal.

Everything Francesco does starts with a pencil drawing. He considers this first part of his process a way of thinking with the hands. Only then he moves to the computer and from there a drawing can become anything.
