His unmistakable signature belies his background in design, communication, theatre and painting. His photography carries a perfect blend of sensuality with avant garde. Fusing hyper-real futurism with high-end beauty images, his work is defined by a marked character of hybridization of styles where come together the latest fashion trends and the most personal conceptual reflections, always providing to his images with a sensual, elegant and mysterious, even perturbing character, trying to interrelate the point of view of the traditional art spectator with the most generic public of the mass-media. Paco’s juxtapositions shows a mastery of the fine line between commercial success and art.
