Who am I?

I’m Franca Franchi, a multidisciplinary artist and creative guide exploring the intersection of art, emotion, and awareness.

Through my work, I translate human experience into form, blending science, spirituality, and aesthetics to help people and brands embody their truth.

Read more about my work

For over two decades, I’ve moved fluidly between art, design, photography, movement, and storytelling, translating human experience into visual and emotional language. My work has always been driven by a simple question: what does it mean to live truthfully?

I create from a place where spirituality and science meet, where the nervous system, the creative impulse, and the mystery of being human coexist.

My process is grounded in self-awareness and somatic understanding, yet open to wonder.

I see creativity as both a scientific experiment and a sacred act: a way to explore what’s true, what’s felt, and what’s possible.

I believe that staying creatively alive means staying curious. Every day, I study, research, and immerse myself in what’s emerging in the worlds of art, neuroscience, design, and technology, bridging intuition with intelligence, creativity with presence.

Whether I’m behind a camera, painting, designing, or guiding someone through a process of creative alignment, I work with one clear intention: to transform emotion into form and truth into beauty.

This is not just my work, it’s my way of understanding and experiencing life.

From Caracas to Lisbon
and everywhere in between.

I began my creative career in Caracas, where I built a solid and fulfilling path as a visual artist and designer across the worlds of fashion, theatre, editorial, corporate, and social communication. Those years taught me how to translate emotion into image, concept into beauty, and collaboration into meaning.

When I later moved to Lisbon, I chose to pause, to expand, listen, and let my creative mind breathe. That pause became a turning point, opening a deeper understanding of art, embodiment, and consciousness.

Today, after years of personal and artistic evolution, I’m coming back stronger — merging experience with soul, and putting my work in service of Love, Truth, and the New Humanity.

WHAT I BELIEVE

Philosophy & Values

Art heals when it’s honest
Because truth has a frequency that the body recognizes before the mind does
#
Love is the most intelligent force we can work with.
It doesn’t need to be understood — only embodied, expressed, and allowed to move through us.
Creativity is a way of remembering who we are.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit dolor
Presence is the bridge between chaos and creation.
Only when we stop running from ourselves can inspiration find where to land.

MANIFESTO

I believe that art, science, and consciousness belong in the same conversation because creation is a means by which we heal, evolve, and remember who we truly are.

My work lives where research meets emotion, and where Love becomes both the method and the goal.

Every project I create, from portraits to programs, begins with one question:

How can art make us more human?

Dive Deeper: My Full Manifesto for the New Humanity

I believe that creativity is not a talent, it’s an instinct for survival, communication, and evolution.

My work and programs are the result of more than a decade of independent research, professional practice, and lived experience, an ongoing exploration of how art, psychology, and consciousness shape human behavior, creativity, and connection.

I’m a lifelong student of the human condition and of the thinkers, clinicians, and visionaries whose work continues to expand our collective understanding of how humans evolve emotionally, creatively, and spiritually, toward greater awareness, integration, and wholeness.

Over the years, I’ve studied and integrated the contributions of Bessel van der Kolk, Peter Levine, and Deb Dana in the fields of trauma research, neuroscience, and somatic therapy; as well as Gabor Maté, Joe Dispenza, Eckhart Tolle, Walter Riso, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Jean Shinoda Bolen, and others whose insights bridge psychology, philosophy, and human potential in our time. Right now.

Their work resonates deeply with both ancient and modern wisdom traditions, from Greek and Eastern philosophy to contemplative and spiritual practices such as Buddhism, Ho’oponopono, Metaphysics, Gnosis, and even Osho’s teachings.

It also dialogues with scientific frontiers such as Quantum Physics, Neuroscience, and Neuroplasticity, where modern research begins to describe,  in its own language, what ancient traditions have long intuited: that awareness, perception, and intention have the power to transform human experience.

But my life has also been my greatest classroom. I didn’t come to these studies out of curiosity alone, but out of necessity.


I’ve stood face to face with abuse, loss, exile, tragedy, and death, experiences that stripped life to its essence and revealed one undeniable truth: Love and Purpose are the forces that make rebuilding possible, again and again.

That realization is the thread that ties every one of my works together, whether I’m guiding, designing, or creating, it always begins and ends in Love made visible.

Those experiences shaped not only who I am, but how I work. They taught me that healing isn’t theory, it’s practice; that art isn’t decoration, it’s survival; and that consciousness isn’t abstraction, it’s the mechanism through which we return to life after collapse.

This is why I move between art, psychology, movement, and science, because I’ve lived the distance between knowing and being, and I’ve built bridges between them.

Through coaching, mentoring, and art-based therapeutic programs, I help people reconnect with their essence, express their truth through creation, and translate awareness into action, and this concept it’s also appliable to businesses and brands that see themselves as game-changers and work for the poeple and the planet.

Over time, I’ve come to understand that Love is not a sentiment, but an organizing intelligence, the fundamental energy that drives, creates, and transforms every human interaction.

It is both the first impulse of creation and the final emotion we meet before we die, the thread that holds meaning, connection, and purpose together.

This awareness is the foundation of everything I create. Whether I’m designing a visual identity, capturing a portrait, painting, or guiding someone through a creative process, my purpose is the same: to make art and consciousness functional, relevant, and accessible, tools for living and leading with integrity, empathy, and vision.

My mission is to place art, beauty, and awareness in service of Love and the New Humanity, one that values presence over perfection, connection over performance, and creativity as an everyday act of evolution.

If this vision speaks to you, you’re already part of it.

My Creative Ecosystem

Branding for Visionary Creatives

A design studio for those ready to show up truthfully. Masterpiece transforms intuition and identity into timeless brand systems, merging artistry, strategy, and soul to build visual worlds that feel alive.

Portraits & Visual Storytelling

My photography blends artistry, intuition, and storytelling.

From intimate Thera-Pictures sessions that explore self-image and empowerment, and Intimus, a bold couple’s portrait session, to product and food photography that captures the essence of brands with authenticity and style, every image is created with intention.

Whether documenting emotion, craft, or identity, I aim to reveal the invisible: the energy, the story, and the truth behind the form.

The Portal of Creation

Art that honors the Sacred and Dark Feminine. Each piece is a celebration of the VULVA as a living symbol, a portal of life, power, and truth.
