Francesco Capasso was born in Naples in 2001. He approached visual art and photography during adolescence, developing a research practice focused on forms and peripheral landscapes. His artistic inquiry evolved into a personal reflection. His work is based on a process of subtraction: stripping reality of its name, function, and narratability to reveal its silent structure. Marginal spaces, technical surfaces, residual elements—each subject is treated as raw material to be analyzed, reduced, dissected. Since 2020, he has been attending the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, where he graduated with honors in the History of Photography, focusing on the Italian landscape between reality and possibility. He is currently pursuing a second-level specialization in photography as an artistic language.
His works have been published in journals and exhibited at photography and visual art festivals.

Francesco Capasso est né à Naples en 2001. Il se rapproche de l’art visuel et de la photographie durant l’adolescence, développant une recherche axée sur les formes et les paysages périphériques. Son investigation artistique évolue vers une réflexion intime. Son travail naît d’un processus de soustraction : ôter au réel son nom, sa fonction, sa narrativité, pour en révéler la structure silencieuse. Espaces marginaux, surfaces techniques, éléments résiduels : chaque sujet est traité comme une matière brute à analyser, réduire, disséquer. Depuis 2020, il fréquente l’Académie des Beaux-Arts de Naples, où il a obtenu son diplôme avec mention en Histoire de la photographie, approfondissant le paysage italien entre réalité et possibilité. Il poursuit actuellement un second cycle en photographie comme langage artistique.
Ses travaux ont été publiés dans des revues et présentés dans des festivals de photographie et d’art visuel.
