FRESH FLORAL CREATIONS
BRUNO DUARTE
Bruno was born and grew up surrounded by flowers on his family's farm in Madeira. This Portuguese subtropical island paradise off the coast of Morocco is known as the floating garden and is home to rare species of flowers from around the world. It's here that Bruno's passion for orchids and all things floral began.
After completing his training at Humber College he started to develop his craft and put into action his concepts. Bruno forged the distinctive style he is admired and appreciated for today.
Bruno's unique approach to floral design is both sculptural and emotional, blending organic materials and foraged items together to create works of art. His floral studio in Toronto is often mistaken for an art gallery, where window displays are created to showcase his artistry.
His exceptional craftsmanship and innovative design techniques have caught the attention of Canadian and international celebrities including Rene Zellweger, Patti LaBelle and Sir Elton John.
When Bruno's not at his studio he can be found designing in front of a live audience. He frequently appears on local and international webinars, and gives inspirational floral demonstrations at Home and Garden shows.
