KIKI IS A ILLUSTRATOR
AND GRAPHIC DESIGNER

BASED IN PORTO, PORTUGAL.

Kiki has been drawing and painting since childhood, but only in 2019 she introduced her signature idiosyncratic creatures to the world.

Her paintings are a vivid mix of colors and textures, and contain depictions of people with exaggerated hair, aggressive facial expressions, swollen lips, and other things that set them apart from traditional beauty stereotypes.

The inspiration behind the dolls is the contemporary life. Her drawing references come from the current world and her interests, such as fashion, streetwear culture and music.

The artist affirms that creating art pieces for people is a great way to connect with them on more than a superficial level, and although she often finds it difficult to be apart from her paintings, she is happy to know that they are hanging somewhere where they are appreciated.
