Rodrigo Franzão (born April 27, 1982) is a contemporary Brazilian artist known for his innovative textile art and mixed media creations.

Franzão’s works often feature intricate interplay of light, shadow, color, and texture, achieved through meticulously folded and layered paper strips on canvas, creating dynamic effects reminiscent of kinetic art.

[2] His works have been exhibited globally, including in prestigious public collections such as the National Arts Club in New York and the Museum of the Superior Court of Justice in Brasília.

His inspirations are the works by Eva Hesse, Josef Albers, Kansuke Yamamoto, Sheila Hicks, Paolo Scheggi, Lucio Fontana, Turi Simeti, Roberto Burle Marx.

[6] Utilizing fabric, needles and copper wire, Franzão's idea was to establish the dialogue that an individual plays between what it means to live and become a visible and active member of society through the act of becoming a consumer, and through that concealing his true essence.

Enlightened by an early background in Literature and Communications, the work of Rodrigo Franzão reveals an incantatory discourse between the artist, his vision and his uninhibited involvement with found materials.

The work is further enhanced by the artist's facile use of mixed media and a brilliant sense of color - an echoing pulse of his native country.
