She breathes, lives and consumes art. 

She is Freda Ghantous. 

Freda Ghantous is an Australian artist based in Sydney who primarily works with oil paint. From a young age, she knew that there were no other means for her. She was born to create. Freda’s artistic ambition was discovered at a young age and has spent many years developing her practice. These tools are the extensions of her fingertips.

Freda's current body of work explores the essence of hip hop and rap culture. Through her eyes and her intuitiveness, she creates pieces that she believes represent each artist as she focuses on their music, beats and lyrics. Not only do her compositions capture her love for music and art as they are merged together, but they also speak to the masses as she depicts the emotions attached within each image.

“I can't imagine what my life would be like if I hadn't ever picked up a pencil or brush. I feel blessed that this passion was passed down to me through many generations, and owe my love for art, especially to my dad. Art gives me hope, it gives my life direction and it gives me clarity."
