Angela Freiberger was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  She received a Bachelor of Arts from the School of Fine Arts at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in 1976.  In 1986, she studied computer graphics at the University of California in Los Angeles. In the early 1990 she traveled to Italy and Portugal and made sculptures in marble. In 2007 she received the Master of Fine Arts at State University of New York at Stony Brook.  

Angela Freiberger pieces are part of the Joao Sattamini collection on display at the Contemporary Museum of Art in Rio de Janeiro. Since the late 1990's, Angela has been producing live performances in Brazil and abroad, including Rio de Janeiro and Macapa in Brazil and New York City. Angela Freiberger work was featured in the Sculpture Magazine/April, 2005. 

"My work explores the idea of 'body', in which the sculpture and other media suggest and become an extension of my body. The sculptures represent and contrast the finitude of the human body. I incorporate performance art to challenge and transgress physical and mental boundaries. The use of video and my physical interaction with it are also an element that adds to the tension between the material and the immaterial."
