To Franco Zacha, illustration is the language of the heart. By combining the world he observes with carefully
crafted concepts, Franco captures emotions through the
lens of solemnity and beauty. Today, his work is
frequently published in the pages of The New York Times, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic, and has been
recognized by institutions like the Society of Illustrators and American Illustration. When he is not painting, you may
find him relishing the art of old Pokémon cards. Franco is from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and based in Providence, RI.
