Christian Franco Falso

Born in 1987 in Vienna, originally trained in graphic design, Christian Franco Falso discovered painting through Wilhelm Drach. After a decade of manual work in various carpentries, he followed his inner necessity and today devotes himself entirely to art. Since 2024, he has been living and working in Lower Silesia, Poland, where he explores the space between matter, mind, and community.

For Falso, painting is not only an act, but an experience, a moment in which there is nothing more to want, nothing more to need – only pure devotion, freedom, and the clarity that painting alone provides. In this space of attention, an open dialogue emerges: the works relate to those who observe or experience them, creating a shared field of experience that goes beyond individual perception.

The more he acts, the more action unfolds. By surrendering to the free life-energy, he renews his creative force each day with full devotion. Body and mind form an inseparable unit: only through regular care, challenge, and strengthening of the body can creative energy flow freely. It is important to distinguish: true fatigue is physical, while mental sluggishness or lack of motivation is often mistakenly perceived as exhaustion. Inspiration and strength arise through action itself – any indulgence or excuses block this flow. In this sense, mental sluggishness is the greatest obstacle to creative action. Therefore, one who truly embraces art understands oneself as a tool of this energy and commits entirely to it.

Falso’s work is rooted in the conviction that art is neither a finished product nor a privilege of a few, but a possibility for every human being to consciously shape themselves, others, and the world. Inspired by the idea that the artistic can exist in any act – in painting as in chopping wood, in breathing, in thinking – Falso understands art as a form of living consciousness work. What matters is not the medium, but the attitude with which something is done.

In his view, two poles intersect: transformative power and remembering depth. Falso’s path leads to insight through the creative process – through darkness and pain, through the formless, the challenging, and the unpredictable. These moments are not an endpoint, but a space of transformation in which something new can emerge. At the same time, he shows respect for the weight of matter and for the traces that time, history, and experience inscribe in every material.

In this way, art becomes a tool of transformation: it questions the ego, dissolves the boundaries between artist and observer, and opens a space where perception, feeling, and matter resonate with one another. Falso’s works are not completed objects, but open fields of encounter – processes in which the invisible expresses itself through form, gesture, and attention.

In addition to painting and drawing, Falso devotes himself to the composition of objects that act as carriers of energy, transformation, and communal experience. In them, it becomes visible that art never stands still, but constantly transforms – in dialogue between work, space, and human being. His work is an invitation to recognize one’s own creative potential, to share it consciously, and to understand creation itself as a path to awareness.
