Francisco Gonzalez Camacho (b. 1990) is a Spanish visual artist based in Helsinki, Finland.

​

Gonzalez Camacho's work presents a process-based approach interweaving photography and graphic printing methods. His practice is a result of intuitive exploration centered around themes such as materiality, immigration and the connectedness between landscape and self.
