Franco

Visual Art – Chicago

Im a CREATOR, I make Art. Im from a small country in Southern Africa Malawi. I have been living in the Windy City for the past 9 years. My late Grandpa used to paint when I was little and encouraged me to do so.He would always say \"Franco no matter what u are goin thru if u are angry or sad or u want to talk to me just take all that energy and put it on sumthing paper wood whatever, dont carry it in your heart because it will make u ILL.(boy i really never understood what he meant then) I loved making Art. But in our family Art was considered a poor mans job one cud not make a living out of it. So it was done in secret. No one in my family knew about this except my grandpa. Fast forward to my adult life about 4 years ago my Grandpa passed. And i cud not afford to go home for the burial this broke my center. I was lost in this new land lookn for something to heal me. Looked for it in people but cud never find it and it wasnt until i found meditation and i started looking For God. BE VERY CAREFUL LOOKN FOR GOD. U R NOT READY FOR WHAT YOU\'LL FIND. 6 months ago i started painting and ive been paintaing everyday. I luv it it heals me. I was born to do this this is my ministry. thanks for reading.
