Francesco Farolfi, painter and restorer, has been making figurative paintings on canvas, on walls and on ceilings since the late ’80s.
His job switches between making artworks based on his personal artistic research and making commissioned murals and paintings
With his original works of art, designed in accordance with the aspirations of the clients, he decorated private homes and public places in Italy and abroad, making custom murals and frescoes including landscape, architectural trompe l'’oeil, as well as portraits of people and animals or still life
As a restorer he brought to light many antique paintings and decorations on walls and ceilings of numerous Florentine palaces and he
returned them to the original aesthetich appearance.
