Francesco Barocco's Art Style 

Francesco Barocco's art defies easy summarization in terms of themes or languages. Above all, it is characterized by an attitude reflecting the daily demands of work within his studio—a quest for an authentic sense of creation that inevitably involves the continuous exploration of new approaches.

He does not overlook traditional techniques, especially engraving, and maintains a deep connection with art history. The entirety of images, ranging from ancient to modern art, Western and beyond, serves as a rich heritage from which he freely draws.
