Francisco Graciano is a self-taught artist using everyday materials to create new works that address the interconnectivity among all people. He has spent the last 25 years working with wire, learning its strengths and weaknesses. His sculptures are made from 100 ft. spools of wire, which are bent, twisted, wrapped, and pulled to create forms, faces, and figures, all united by a single line. Graciano crafts all works by hand, forgoing the use of any tools to extend the human connection from artist to viewer. His unique style evokes emotion through the gestures, placement, and craftsmanship of each piece. Graciano lives and works in San Jose, CA.
