ABOUT

Francisca Sallato

I am a visual artist with a background in fine art from Chile. After moving to Sydney, I also worked in graphic design, exploring visual identity, typography and different ways of working with images. Photography has always been part of my practice, and today it is where I feel most connected to my visual work. I am interested in simple forms, architecture, landscape and those moments when something ordinary starts to look different.
