Francesco Pellerano

Teacher / Painter/ Graphic artist / Designer.

My artistic research revolves around the threshold between vision and illusion — between what appears and what slips away. Through painting, I explore mental landscapes, perceptual boundaries, and unstable horizons.

I’m drawn to what is undefined: places where light vibrates, where color evokes more than it describes. Over time, the mirage has become a central symbol in my work — a space suspended between reality and desire, between what we see and what we seek. My painting does not represent; it suggests, questions, and invites reflection.

Using layers, transparencies, and subtle textures, I build fragile, open spaces where the viewer is invited to linger and project their own perception. For me, painting is a way to listen to what does not immediately reveal itself.
