Franco Hardel
From camera to canvas, Franco turns feminine grace and glowing dreamscapes into timeless paintings.
First Collection
Born in Normandy, Franco Hardel is a French artist shaped by a land of art and romanticism. Now living between Paris and Bali, he painted his first canvases at the age of eight, beside his mother, with whom he shares this enduring passion.
A multi-talented creator—painter, photographer, musician—he also performs in a music group with his closest friend.
In time, music and photography were no longer enough. Franco felt compelled to transform the images he captured into timeless paintings. He is drawn to photographing women and celebrating their presence within idyllic landscapes, elevating each moment into a luminous vision.
His first exhibition will take place in Paris in May 2026.
