About Francisco
Art Handling | Transport | Installation | Advisory With over 20 years of experience in the art world, I bring both precision and passion to every project. My journey began while finishing my degree in sculpture, working as an artist’s assistant and later managing production in a gallery. These early years, enriched by collaborations in theater and cinema, gave me a unique understanding of the creative process and the technical excellence it requires.
Since then, I’ve dedicated my career to art production, transport, handling, and installation for leading museums, galleries, and private collectors. In 2010, I founded my own company, specializing in:
Art installation & handling - from delicate works to large-scale pieces
Transport & packaging - ensuring safe, professional movement of artworks
Advisory services - practical, tailored solutions for complex art-related projects
I thrive where technical decisions meet creative vision. My goal is always the same: to bring precision, reliability, and care that allows every artwork and every artist to shine.
✨ Whether for galleries, museums, or private collectors, my work is guided by expertise, respect for the art, and a genuine passion for supporting creators.…

Initial review
Service: Installation and movement of artworks for exhibitions
I’ve worked with Francisco a couple of times, including a much bigger show at a museum, where he handled the installation and movement of artworks with his team. He’s very experienced with works of art, always on time and courteous, and we communicated daily with no complaints. He installed very big works - not an easy thing to do - led the team well, is very technical, and listened to instructions and synthesized them into what we needed. I’d recommend him for installation of art or anything that needs moving in that context.
