Francisco Sierra

Francisco Sierra is an award-winning contemporary artist. He was born in Chile in 1977 and moved with his family to Switzerland in 1986.
Sierra is noted for humorous, often bizarre, photorealist oil paintings of "breath-taking perfection". His work has been noted in international publications such as Frieze (magazine) which pointed out with demure understatement that he "can paint rather well". He is also a sculptor.
