Collection: Jared Franco

A self-taught artist whose passion for drawing began at three. From an early age, he knew art was his true calling. Influenced by his grandfather, a painter of British and French historical scenes, Franco inherited a deep appreciation for fine art and creative expression. Early inspirations such as Salvador Dalí, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci shaped his admiration for surrealism and helped push the boundaries of his developing style.

From 2006 to 2010, Franco served in the U.S. Army with the 101st Infantry Division at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, including a 15-month deployment to Iraq. Although his art was temporarily set aside at the time, his passion never waned. Returning home, he reignited his creative pursuits with a renewed focus—blending his love of fantasy with a lifelong admiration for Disney storytelling and characters.

“I’ve spent most of my life watching and studying Disney movies,” Franco shares. “From my earliest memories, I would watch them on repeat—fascinated by the artwork and inspired to paint.”

Today, Jared Franco is proud to be part of the Disney Fine Art family. His work combines timeless storytelling with bold, imaginative style, making each piece instantly recognizable as a Jared Franco original.
