Franco Cisternino Bracho: The Artistic Journey
Franco Cisternino Bracho’s love for art is deeply rooted in his family’s artistic heritage. As the son of Italian artist Aurélio Cisternino, Franco inherited a profound appreciation for creativity.

His father’s artistic pursuits served as both inspiration and motivation to nurture his own creative talents. Initially, his professional career led him to interior design projects, but his heart yearned for the canvas.
The vibrant cultures of Brazil and Venezuela left an indelible mark on Franco’s work and served as a wellspring of inspiration. His preferred medium, oil paint, finds its home on expansive canvases, where he meticulously captures the essence of diverse faces, especially those from different ethnic backgrounds.
