Daniel Freytag

Daniel Freytag (b. 1975) is a Scottish-German abstract artist and designer based on Scotland’s west coast. A graduate of Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen, his work explores landscapes from above—rural and urban—blending abstracted natural forms with human-made marks. Notable series include Everywhere Leads Everywhere, evoking urban disorientation and discovery, and Made by Land, capturing depopulated Scottish landscapes and the quiet traces of human presence within their desolate beauty.
