ArT & InsTallations

His approach to decorating spaces is holistic: he reimagines it from the inside out, treating every environment as something alive that can be shifted, deepened, or evelate its uniqueness in the right way.
Deeply embedded in psychedelic and visionary art culture, Denis sees creativity as a portal to expanded consciousness - a way of making the invisible visible. This thread runs through everything: his studio practice, his presence at psytrance festivals, and his love for painting under UV light.
He paints walls. He transforms spaces.
Currently based in the Algarve, open to new collaborations.

In 2018, he launched the project Nature Taking Over, transforming stubbornly grey urban walls into vibrant landscapes where colourful foliage reclaims the city. His energetic, sketch-like strokes celebrate the resilience and unstoppable force of nature.

More recently, Fred’s work has evolved towards surreal compositions featuring small houses, vehicles, and floating objects. While these dreamlike scenes blur the line between reality and imagination, his murals always maintain a strong focus on geometry, perspective, and proportion.

For commercial commissions, Fred approaches each project through the lens of design, creating site-specific works that reflect the identity of his clients while bringing character and atmosphere to every space. His versatility extends from custom murals for private homes to physical and digital illustrations, as well as unique projects such as the decoration of a camper van featured on magazine covers and a private jet that carries his artwork around the world.

In 2008, he began working independently as an ILDA-certified Laser Artist and Technician, creating and producing professional laser shows.

In 2013 and 2014, he was invited by Pormenor Audiovisuais (Portugal) to manage the sound, lighting, and video production for Festival Lumina, in Cascais, Portugal. Believing that a Festival of Light deserved a strong laser component, he proposed the creation of a laser installation to Nuno Maya, founder of Ocubo. Although the proposal was not immediately accepted, after several years of persistence Nuno Maya eventually invited him to develop the concept. Following discussions about the technical aspects of the installation, he presented his final proposal, which was approved and received with great enthusiasm by both the organizers and the public. This marked the true beginning of his artistic installation work.

Following the success of the project, Ocubo began presenting the installation at other events. According to him, some presentations were made under his own name, while others were presented under Ocubo's name without his authorization.

He further states that Ocubo has subsequently reproduced concepts based on his original work, including an installation presented at Serralves, in Porto.

Representing the UK, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Algeria, Denmark, Brazil and Colombia, the team reflects the international spirit of ZNA Gathering, united by a shared passion for natural building, collaboration and creativity.

Since 2018, CanyaViva's iconic cane structures have become part of the ZNA landscape. Amazingly, the original structures are still standing strong after seven years and are now being assembled for their fifth edition, each year reimagined with an entirely new design.

For ZNA Gathering 2026, the team is creating three shaded Chill Pods covered with natural hessian fabric, decorative elements for the bridge, and three welcoming entrance structures around the festival.

A heartfelt thank you to every member of the team, to ZNA Gathering, and to everyone whose dedication, resilience and enthusiasm have made this year's project possible under the Portuguese summer sun.
