Kika Carvalho
Vitória, ES, Brasil, 1992
Lives and works in Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil.
Graduated in Visual Arts from the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES), her artistic practice spans various mediums, techniques, and scales. She conducts meticulous research centered on the color blue, which connects to both the landscapes of the island city where she was born and the broader history of painting. Her work explores the complex processes of Black identity in contemporary society and is deeply influenced by themes of presence and absence – particularly relevant to the Atlantic diaspora.
