LUÍS GERALDES
LUÍS GERALDES
Luís Geraldes was born in 1957 (Covilhã) and went to the African country of Angola when he was about 3 years of age. He spent most of his childhood and adolescent years there but in 1975 he had to flee the country as a refugee due to the terrifying civil war. His long stay in Angola seems to have affected his style of art and he did indeed start painting when he was a boy.
He migrated to Australia in 1985. He became an Australian citizen in 1987 and has taught art and design at Footscray Institute of TAFE from 1988 to 1990 and at RMIT (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) from 1991 to 1995. From 1995, he was a lecturer at the Central Gippsland Institute Art Department.
He now paints full-time and regularly travels between Europe and Australia. His paintings have been selling throughout the world and auctions houses, particularly at Christie's Art Auctions in London.
