Ricardo Franco

"I consider myself a creator of images, because more than reproducing reality or aspects of daily life, I try to capture the moments that escape everyday visual history and that from my vision are perpetuated forever."


For more than 20 years, one of my most endearing passions is photography and digital art, I have specialized in the conceptualist movement.

I have been awarded the Medal of Artistic Merit for the year 1999, awarded by the government of the state of Yucatán. The same thing that gives me the opportunity to enter the exhibition of Yucatan plastic art from the last century.
