About Francis

Francis Sling is an artist from Curaçao. He works in pencil: flowers, birds, vases and the people and places around him. He also writes poems.

His studio is a room full of paper. Finished work and work still to come hang side by side on the wall, held up with blue tape. On this site you can look around that room.

Who he is

Francis Sling (Curaçao, 1979) is a painter, muralist, poet and musician. He studied graphic design in Amsterdam and returned to Curaçao, where his large murals in Willemstad are impossible to miss: 3 O’Clock Romance in Scharloo, Djosa in Otrobanda and many more. His work is about what matters to him: God, identity, people and nature. The largest work he is working on now is For the Love of God.

When I wear the world’s greatest glasses, I see a universe of examples, like popcorn popping into life: each one unique but part of one profound story. Together, all pointing to the example of all examples. A star beyond this world, shining bright, calling us to be the truth we are meant to become.
