Francesco Gallina was born in Turin in 1971. From an early age he showed a strong fascination for the world of imagination and the fantastic. At just twelve years old he began writing his first science-fiction stories, an experience that marked the beginning of his creative journey.
Alongside his interest in writing, he developed a deep passion for painting. After attending the preparatory courses at the Vittorio Veneto Art High School, in 1991 he continued his artistic studies at the Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti di Torino, later presenting his works in several exhibitions in Turin.
Throughout the years, Gallina has cultivated both literature and visual art, writing poems and short stories while developing his painting practice. His work reflects a personal exploration of the human condition, inspired by reflections on contemporary life and the emotional complexity of existence.
Through both words and images, the artist investigates themes such as love, passion and inner reflection, revealing the many layers of human experience and leaving open questions that often remain suspended in the quiet rhythm of everyday life
