Born on 2nd July 1947 (Island of Corsica, France). He lives and works in Corsica. He devoted himself to Plastic Arts since 1982 (when he left the teaching profession).

1967-73: Art student in Nice and then in Paris at the National Institute for the preparation of professors for drawing and sculpture.

1973-1982: After working for the "Maison de la Culture de la Corse" creating decor for the theater, Jules Franck Mondoloni was a teacher in the French National Education system for 15 years. During these years he made trips to central Asia, Turkey, Moscow and Leningrad, and throughout Europe.

Jules Franck Mondoloni is a born sculptor who bears a soul forged by the multi-millennia tradition of the sculptors of the megaliths from his native island Corsica. He finds no challenge in sculpture. He has turned to painting for the adventure in his self-imposed exigency and his great love of the art of painting. The armature of his painting is in his drawing, "engraving on paper realistic drawings in the classic tradition", to which he puts color which he uses as a poet where light induces its foundation.

In 1968, during the barricades of the French student revolt in Paris, Jules Franck Mondoloni was in the National School for the preparation of drawing and sculptor professors. His dreams of studying painting were crushed when he was told that painting was dead. Nonetheless, he independently went to the Louvre and other museums throughout Europe as a dedicated visitor to conscientiously study the great masters: Poussin, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Delacroix, Cezanne, Matisse, Picasso, Rodin, Michelangelo, as well as antiquity: Egyptian, Greek, American, Asiatic, and the art of the Cathedrals, and, so called, "primitive art". He is an avid photographer and writer. His personal quest is the study of painting and the Arts.

Poetry characterizes the work carved or painted by Jules Franck Mondoloni. (He keeps in reserve numerous texts written during exotic travels, real "objects-poems" illustrated with drawings and photographs).

In painting, by the "Automatic Color" (abstract, unreal), he is searching for the realistic representation of light in the poetic moments of the world, in the certainty of an effective design of sculptor.
