Francisco Rizquez caracas venezuela fotografo award
Francisco Rizquez, better known as @fpluss1, is a passionate Venezuelan photographer. He was born and raised amidst the contrasts of Caracas, famously referred to as "the city of fury."
​
Francisco's photographic work is both enlightening and invigorating. It is imbued with a sense of risk that envelops each image, inviting viewers to imagine the emotions and sensations he experiences while capturing these moments.
Through his unique vision, he manages to showcase the wonders and virtues the city offers, gifting us with breathtaking perspectives.
​
His pursuit is for absolute silence, a state the artist ultimately finds within his own body, through the beats of his heart and his breath. Sharing the sky with birds and perceiving the language offered by the surrounding structures are his primary motivations.

Vol. 1
In his book, “Nuestras Caras,” Francisco brings to life many of the inspiring children’s faces he saw, who were struggling to survive in the poorest neighborhoods and slums of Venezuela.
As a young adult, he shares how it is not easy to be an innocent child. On the contrary, it is ex tremely difficult. The world is going through such a heavy process of transformation that
could negatively affect so many human beings. Children are affected the most, so it is essen tial to give them appropriate and timely guidance, and serve as proper role models. He agrees
that what we give to our children will be given right back to our society.
​
Children are transparent people and full of sincerity. They are born without malice and with out prejudice. When they give us a smile, it is because they live and feel it completely. They do not pretend; instead, they just live and they should continue to live freely from worries that
adults have.
​
By nourishing himself with children’s contagious joy and innocence, it awakened in Francisco that young spirit that we all inherently have, and that adults usually keep dormant.
So to each child out there-he aims to share all the unique experiences he’s faced with so many of them, which is highlighted in his photo-book. He encourages the youth of today to keep let ting their joy and light shine through.
