Francis Sling

Francis Sling (Curaçao, 1979) is a visual artist, living and working in Curaçao.

His art is an exploration of the human condition in general. Human beings are in a perpetual pursuit of happiness. This universal phenomenon is the very thing that flows continuously into his art, his work is at the very least seductive as well as captivating with an equally strong message. Francis is a self-proclaimed poet that not only uses his brush to express his colourful poetry on canvas or any type of surface he’s drawn to, but also by playing musical instruments alongside composing and writing poetry.

Francis' vision: Through his art, to push the boundaries and convey the message of what’s possible for humankind in general and to contribute to the promotion, development, and increasing of awareness of the Island’s Art beyond the borders of Curacao and the Caribbean.
