Geraldo Frazão is a Brazilian figurative painter based in London, UK, known for his enigmatic figures. Frazão’s paintings often depict solitary or paired figures set against landscapes, abstract backgrounds, or ambiguous domestic spaces.
He works with a rich palette of colors inspired by Edvard Munch — an influence introduced to him by his painter mother during his childhood in tropical Brazil. Rather than representing the exterior world of the sunny day, he paints the interior world of the soul.
Frazão strips away natural light and the realistic sense of depth and form, moving instead toward a style where smooth, simplified shapes and vivid colors symbolize emotional and psychological states.
