Rodrigo Franzão: Exploring Texture and Geometry Through Sustainable Materials

Rodrigo Franzão’s artistic journey began in São Paulo, Brazil (1982), where he absorbed the rich tapestry of Brazilian literature and art—a formative experience that instilled a lifelong fascination with expressive language and visual storytelling. This intellectual curiosity would become a cornerstone of his creative approach, informing both his conceptual framework and stylistic choices. He pursued advanced degrees in museology and art history at United Metropolitan College, honing skills in spatial perception and artistic analysis – disciplines that profoundly shaped his understanding of the visual arts. His artistic exploration took root in psychopedagogy and art therapy, deepening his awareness of human psychology and emotional resonance. Recognizing the transformative potential of creative expression, Franzão sought to engage viewers on a deeper level—provoking contemplation and fostering dialogue about universal themes of existence and beauty. This multidisciplinary perspective enriched his practice, allowing him to consider not only visual aesthetics but also the psychological impact of his work. Franzão distinguishes himself through meticulous craftsmanship and an unwavering commitment to ethical artistic practices. Rejecting conventional notions of artistic production, he champions sustainability by utilizing FSC-certified German paper—a deliberate choice that underscores his belief in harmonizing creativity with environmental responsibility. He meticulously folds these sheets of paper into intricate geometric patterns—a technique rooted in childhood memories of his mother’s sewing workshop and imbued with symbolic references to natural rhythms and cycles. This process yields textured sculptures that evoke kinetic art, mirroring the dynamism of movement and capturing fleeting moments of visual harmony. Influenced by artists such as Josef Albers, Kansuke Yamamoto, Sheila Hicks, Paolo Scheggi, Lucio Fontana, Turi Simeti and Roberto Burle Marx, Franzão’s stylistic evolution reflects a dialogue with both historical precedents and contemporary artistic trends. He draws inspiration from Constructivism's emphasis on geometric abstraction—a movement that championed clarity of form and visual precision—and explores the expressive possibilities inherent in pure geometry. Simultaneously, he embraces textural manipulation—drawing upon techniques honed during his architectural studies—to imbue his sculptures with depth and complexity. Throughout his career, Rodrigo Franzão has garnered international recognition for his innovative approach to textile art and mixed media sculpture. His work has been showcased at prestigious venues including the International Paper & Textile Art Biennial (Belgium, 2024) and the International Biennial on Textile Art – Fibremen 5 (Ukraine, 2015). He consistently participates in major art fairs like Art Miami (2024), Expo New York (2024), and Art Palm Beach (2025)—demonstrating his dedication to engaging with the global artistic community. Notably, Franzão’s solo exhibition “The Soul of the Water” at Jillian Mac Fine Arts in New Orleans solidified his position within contemporary art. He also featured in ART NOW at Hearst Tower in Manhattan, curated by Betty Levin. His commitment to promoting ethical artistic practices—evident in initiatives like VCPORA—further underscores his role as a socially conscious artist who seeks to inspire reflection and advance the discourse on textile art as a medium for social commentary and aesthetic innovation.
