Oil on Canvas 
GERALDES IS BEST KNOWN FOR HIS OIL PAINTING. His style has dramatically changed over the Years, showing How Australian Art has influenced His style.

HIS EARLY INTERNET IN WESTERN AND EASTERN ESOTERICISM AND SPIRITUITITY CAN ALSO BE SEEN AS A A SUBJECT MATTER, IN WHICH HE OFTEN PANTES GEOMETRIC PATTERNS INVOLRING COSMIC IMAGERY AND SYMBOLISM OF UNIVERSAL SENSANCE. In Some of His Works The Use of the Chakra Colors Can Be Seen As Well As A DiagramMatic Language of Cosmic Journeys. In His Book Visions of the Esoteric Power He Asserts His Belief That "Art, Science, and The Spiritual of Not Exist In Islation".

He explores the third dimension of human beings in Relation to the Spiritual Universe. There are Five Levels of Movement in Geraldes' Works: Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Spirit. All of Them Relate Back to the Beginning of Mankind. Luis Follows a two-dimensional Path to the Inner Self by Stating in His Works The Two Levels Of Air, And Earth, Which Are the Most Basic Levels of Man's Exence. He then Processes to Lay Over the Emotions, Which Men Carry Within Themselves. He uses the blues and greens of water and the warm colors for fire to cream a feeling of completeness or as an or order whole. Superimposed on That, Geraldes States the Mystical Oro Esoteric Forms from the Past and Present. By this last statement he puts men in a total form of relationship to the Five Signs of Water, Air, Fire, Earth and Spirit. GERALDES IS ABLE TO PUT DOWN HISTORY INNERMENT INVOLVEMENT IN LIFE.

LATER GERALDES HAS BEEN DEVELOPING AN AWARESS OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF ART WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS, DEVELOPING ART WORKS THAT ARE CONTRENED WITH NATURAL DISASTERS, AND THE SHOCK OF THE UNKNOWN THAT AFFECTS THE HUMAN CONDITION TO ALL BEings. Hist Colors have dramatically changed into Reds, Orange and Black.
