"The Portugal-born, Paris-residing artist’s geometric shapes collide with sharp Gallic humour. Joyful lines dance with intense colours – often set in motion by her partner, motion designer Damien Martin. Look for her oddball characters and subtle Easter eggs. She calls it a “happy graphic style,” always served with a rebellious edge. Always precise, fresh, and relevant, Frade has a gift for unravelling complex subjects into compelling narratives. It's a talent that captures the spirit of our time for powerhouses like Wired, The Economist, and ESPN – tackling everything from the culture shock of AI to the unvarnished realities of women's football. But her keen eye for culture shines beyond the headlines. See: Raleigh Ritchie's Murakami-esque flower blooming in a monochrome world. Maria Frade turns the world on its head." TDF
