Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and based in San Francisco, California, Florencia Montefalcone is an artist whose practice spans textiles, photography, performance, and installation art. Initially pursuing a career in fashion design at the University of Buenos Aires, Montefalcone shifted her focus to performance and photography to explore deeper questions of identity and self-expression. She later earned a dual BFA in Photography and Textiles from the California College of Arts.

Montefalcone's work is characterized by a bold, colorful style that emphasizes the handmade nature of her creations. Her themes include beauty, perfection, the objectification of female bodies, femininity, and gender. Through wearable art and painted silks, she transforms feelings of vulnerability into powerful statements of identity.

Montefalcone is the founder of Pelota Gallery in San Francisco, a curatorial laboratory open for artists and curators to conduct research, host exhibitions, and participate in residencies. Notable projects include collaborations with Bay Area designers for an exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art of San Francisco and creating the atrium piece for "As We Summon Other Worlds" at the Minnesota Street Project.
