Federico de Francesco, born in Calabria, Italy, in 1979, works primarily in oils to create bold revelations. His abstract works explore the tension between freedom and contained focus. Evoking the colorful vibrancy of Matisse, De Francesco alludes to the mystery of the natural world.

De Francesco has steadily gained recognition as a painter, including by renowned artist and amfAR honoree Alex Katz. Along with the Alex Katz Foundation, his work has been collected by The Margulies Collection; The High Museum of Art, Atlanta; The University of Maine Museum of Art; and the Colby College Museum of Art.

His work has been featured in exhibitions at V1 Gallery, Copenhagen, Denmark; The Pit, Los Angeles, CA; Ross + Kramer Gallery, East Hampton, NY; The Journal Gallery, New York, NY; Van de Weghe Fine Art, East Hampton, NY; Rental Gallery, East Hampton, NY; Peter Freeman, New York, NY, Regina Rex, New York, NY; and most recently Fernberger Gallery, Los Angeles, CA.

He lives and works in New York, NY.
