About Kiko

There isn't a word for everything. Not for every perception, feeling, emotion, or strange little thing that passes through us.


For me, drawing is a way of putting on paper the things I can't really put into words.


I grew up between Campinas and São Paulo, Brazil, and for the last nine years I've lived in New York, Hoboken, and now Los Angeles.


Since I got here, I fell in love with the city. The colors of the sky, the sun, the palm trees, the deserts, the strange light that makes everything feel slightly unreal.


A lot of what I draw comes from that feeling. Trying to capture something before it disappears.
