FRANCESCO DE MOLFETTA’S “POP FICTION” SHOW
Artist Francesco De Molfetta lives and works in Milan, Italy. His work is deep and rich in layers. On appearance there is the overt critique on our contaminated society with weak morales.

Perhaps Francesco is saying that through all this craziness, that we really can all make it better somehow in the end.
