Colourama: Teresa Freitas

In The Pink is pleased to present the work of Teresa Freitas (Lisbon, 1990), a Portuguese photographer and colourist known for her dreamy, cinematic approach to contemporary photography. Blending elements of street, documentary, and fine art, Freitas crafts a world where colour and atmosphere take centre stage.

With her distinctive post-processing techniques, Freitas transforms ordinary scenes into poetic dreamscapes, blurring the lines between the natural and the artificial. Her ongoing series Cinematica often features soft pink tones and nostalgic hues, evoking a digital-age aesthetic infused with warmth and emotion. In this specially curated selection, however, viewers will discover a shift in palette—an unexpected vibrancy of green that connects her vision more closely with the organic world.

Freitas roams through city centres and quiet landscapes with the eye of a modern-day flâneur. She absorbs the textures and rhythms of each place, distilling them into carefully composed images that feel both intimate and universally resonant. Her photographs bridge the built and natural environments, suggesting that peace can be found in either—that beauty is not confined to location, but discovered through perception.

Her visual language draws from the aesthetics of digital culture while remaining rooted in human emotion. There is a playfulness in her compositions, a light touch that invites viewers into a world slightly removed from reality, where the ordinary is transformed into something surreal and softly sublime.

Colourama invites us to see our surroundings anew—to treat the landscapes and cityscapes we often overlook as vibrant, breathing compositions where colour, form, and feeling intersect. Through Teresa Freitas’s lens, the world becomes both familiar and fantastical—a reminder that wonder is always within reach, if only we choose to see it.
