Lamisa (b. December 29, 1996, Ontario), also known as “Misa,” better known as my artist name: A Mango Ritual.

I am a Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist working across murals, fine art, and commissioned objects.

I grew up inside a city that refused to stay grey, so naturally murals shaped me long before I knew I would become a mural artist. That early captivation became a way of seeing that continues to guide my practice today. Wherever I go, my eyes still find the murals first. I’m interested in carrying that same sense of whimsy and wonder forward through my own work.

My work moves between large-scale walls, private commissions, and painted objects. It keeps coming back to food, nature, ritual, healing, cultural hybridity, and meditation. I’m drawn to how everyday life becomes visual language, how memory, nourishment, and place can turn into atmosphere and image without needing to be explained.

I work across aerosol, acrylic, watercolour, and charcoal, building layered compositions that feel emotionally alive and grounded in place. I don’t see murals as decoration. I see them as atmosphere, something that becomes part of a space and changes how it’s experienced.

I am also a member of the Toronto High Rollers Club, a collective of visual artists well known and respected within the city, working together on large-scale public works across Toronto. My experience spans live painting for Xbox and Bethesda Game Studios, StreetARToronto, the Leslieville BIA, Steps Public Art, MuralRoutes, Kensington Market, U-Haul, Pizza Nova, Xbox, Bethesda Game Studios, and private clients across Canada and the United States. Assisting on large-scale mural productions, precision lettering, and works held in private collections internationally, alongside smaller public-facing pieces across the city. I continue to develop large-scale public works in different cultural and architectural contexts.

At its core, every single line in my work has a role, just like all of us in the world; it creates something bigger than we understand. My role is magnetized in my bones, the way a bird knows how to fly south: I am the artist, this is what I know how to do.

This is my ritual.
