(Artist Bio)
Fran De Anda lives and works in Mexico City. In his work he touches on themes related to the human condition. Based on ancient myths and archetypes, he develops concepts such as transformation, death, alchemy, the sacred and the profane. Having a strong connection with ancient art, it takes up elements of the Renaissance, the Baroque and symbolism. Through the use of traditional pictorial techniques such as grinding his own pigments, and the use of tempera, oil, silver and gold leaf, he develops an interpretation of the mysterious and sacred in man and his relationship with nature within a mystical-symbolic vision.
