Francisco Gonzalez Camacho (b. 1990) is a Spanish visual artist currently based in Finland. Gonzalez Camacho's work presents a process-based approach interweaving photography and graphic printing methods, with Nordic nature as the central subject.

Rooted in intuitive exploration, his practice explores themes such as materiality, immigration and the connectedness between landscape and self.
