Francisco Soto Mesa was born in Madrid and pursued art studies at what was formerly known as the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, now the Facultad de Bellas Artes de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, where he obtained his degree.
In 1978, he inaugurated the Escuela de Artes Plásticas “El Estudio” and the “Sala Previa,” where he taught and organized exhibitions, mainly featuring emerging artists. In October 2001, he opened the adjacent space to the Art School, which was named “Tercer Espacio” and served as a venue for non-commercial exhibitions of renowned artists, as well as other events and activities related to the world of art and culture. It later became known as “Galería Tercer Espacio” and was in operation from early 2006 to the end of 2011. From that point on, the same activities focused on creative, artistic, and personal development continued to be organized in these spaces until its relocation to San Agustín street, in the same neighborhood, where all teaching and artistic activities continue to be led by Elisa Soto with her guidance and expertise.
