Francesco De Bernardi lives and works in Milan.
Narrative systems lie at the core of Francesco De Bernardi’s practice, serving as a framework through which he intertwines everyday experiences and fictional stories. These systems take shape in the form of sculptures, texts, audio works, and drawings, allowing him to explore themes of self-doubt and duality, particularly as they appear in modern literature.
