My name is Francesca Barbagallo, I am an Italian artist from Sicily.
In 2015 I graduated in Graphic Design - business communication - at the Academy of Fine Arts in Catania. For several years I deal with photography, graphics and web design.

I lived in Rome, where I studied photography and worked as a photographer.
For about a year I lived in London and there I worked in a photo lab for 4 months.

I participated in several photographic competitions. In 2009 I won the "first prize" of the photographic competition "the water form" organized by the Municipality of Catania, and in 2013 I was awarded the "special mention of the jury" in the competition organized Med Photo Fest contest.

I also lived in Spain where I attended the Escola de Arte y Diseño de Castellón de la Plana for 6 months. I am currently enrolled in the 2nd year of the Web & App course at the Free Academy of Fine Arts in Brescia.

Da quando ho bandito carne e pesce, faccio sogni più belli e so per certo che dipende dal cibo che mangio. Detto questo, però, non mi viene proprio di lanciare anatemi contro i carnivori o scomunicare chi ama il pesce fritto. Non fa parte della mia cultura. (F.Battiato)
