Francesco Boer

Sono nato nel 1980. Ho studiato da ragioniere, ma poi mi sono perso per strada, inseguendo i simboli come un bimbo che corre dietro alle farfalle.

Abito a Selz, in provincia di Gorizia. Crescere e vivere vicino al confine mi ha dato la possibilità di comprendere che la realtà non è risolvibile in una visione univoca.

Nei simboli si può trovare un tratto comu
