Author photographer, passionate about heritage, architecture and urban landscape, he travels the world in his spare time, in search of abandoned places, sanctuaries on which time has stood still. He brings back striking images, time capsules testifying to a parallel universe conducive to the escape of the mind and to questioning...
Exhibited and awarded internationally, he is the author of 4 art books on the theme of the poetics of ruins.
A major in Design and Communication from the École Nationale Supérieure d'Arts de Nancy in 1986, Francis Meslet has been a Creative Director in communications for 38 years.
As an extension of this approach, he also experiments with generative art to evoke imaginary worlds, in a near future hit hard by the advent of everything digital and by climatic and geopolitical upheavals.
