Francisco Fonseca Paints Houses Like Portraits of the People Who Once Lived Inside Them
[]
Design You Trust
Francisco Fonseca, known as _francis.co, is an illustrator from Paço de Sousa, a small village in Portugal.
He completed a master’s degree in Drawing at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto in 2018 and has worked as a full-time illustrator ever since, building an audience of over one million followers.
Houses sit at the center of his art.
He treats each building as a portrait of the people who live in it — a mirror of culture, memory, and personal history rather than just architecture.
Beyond illustration, he founded Porta 98, co-founded Garden Skate Co., paints murals around Porto, and teaches an online course through Domestika.
