Palma de Mallorca, Spain, 1996
About
Lives and works in A Coruña, Spain.
Justine Franco’s work inhabits at the intersection of memory, identity, and collective imagination. Her pieces arise from personal visions and fragments of cultural memory, drawing both from her Spanish heritage and from global visual currents. These images undergo an intuitive process of layering, reconstruction, and sublimation, transforming into figures that feel familiar yet impersonal, unclassifiable and nonetheless understandable. The resulting figures are not portraits, but robust presences that inhabit that space halfway between the personal and the archetypal. With a flat, colorful style and simplified forms, Franco distills what the eye captures, reclaiming the ornamental as a place of emotional resonance and as a generative agent of meaning.
Justine Franco is a visual artist based in A Coruña. She trained at the Pancho Lasso School of Art in Lanzarote and at the Complutense University of Madrid, where she studied Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage. Since then her artistic practice has evolved into the exploration of cultural icons and shared heritage.
