Miguel Freitas

   Miguel Freitas was born in Lisbon, Portugal and moved to Toronto, Canada when he was a teenager. Starting out with a Graphic Arts degree he entered into the creative world, first working as a photographer and then as an illustrator for Ad agencies. His artistic diversity has proven to be a great asset to his creative career and his successes eventually lead him to positions working as Art Director for companies both in Canada and Europe. ​ He currently paints from his home studio in the Toronto Beaches area and exhibits internationally in solo and group exhibitions. His unique creations are collected worldwide and represented by prominent galleries throughout North America. ​ His bold use of colour along with whimsical urban scapes is what often strikes his audience first. The aggressive use of texture creates a multi-layered surface that appears as if the painting is sculpted. These scenes convincingly depict the naive impressions and memories left in your mind years after visiting a place.
