Located in the town of Póvoa de Santa Iria, this space is situated within the characteristic urban environment of the area. Póvoa de Santa Iria, part of the municipality of Vila Franca de Xira, benefits from its proximity to the Tagus River, which lends a certain dynamic unique to riverside communities to the surroundings, although the atelier itself is located in an area integrated into the town's fabric.
Behind the Atelier is Maria Freitas, an artist with a remarkable journey. Born in Caracas in 1965, her education and trajectory in the art world are extensive and rich. This experience has shaped her vision and the way she expresses her work, resulting in an artistic production with a personal and profound stamp.
The work found at the atelier reflects a deep awareness of the world around us. Through her art, Maria Freitas explores the complexity of the planet and current environmental challenges. It is an expression that invites reflection, manifesting disquiet in the face of imbalance, but also conveying a message of hope in humanity's capacity for transformation.
The pieces presented are designed to be visually appealing. The artist uses her technique to address serious themes in an engaging way, creating a meeting point where artistic expression and environmental message complement each other extraordinarily. The objective is to captivate observers, encouraging a deeper connection with the issues portrayed and the artist's vision.
