Pintura - Yolanda V.Fundora - Revista Virtual De Cultura Iberoamericana

Franck de Las Mercedes was born in Masaya, Nicaragua in 1972. Raised in a family of dancers, musicians and teachers, FdLM spent his childhood immersed in the arts. In the mid-eighties the Sandinista/Contra war forced the family to immigrate to the United States. Franck would then grow up in New York City. In the late nineties, with an impressive resume in both music and stage, FdLM began to experiment with an undying fascination with visual arts. This experimentation quickly evolved into a promising career. Completely self-taught, FdLM has developed a style that is bold, spontaneous and colorful. “Painting has allowed me to embark on a journey into self-discovery. Each work represents a different stage in this journey, a constant exploration of my life, my psyche, my emotions and the experiences that have shaped my existence.”
