Kiko Born in Porto (1997), has lived in Ayamonte, Barcelona and Madrid. Graduated in Art History from FLUP (2018),he currently dedicates himself to his work as a multidisciplinary artist - photography (analog) and film (super 8), painting, dance, performance, collages, poetry and ceramics. Co-founder of fleur studio (2022), he also works as a curator/editor for the photography magazine Safelight Paper Magazine Berlin.

He's had photographs in exhibitions in Rome (2022) and Berlin (2023), a photograph selected on Another Magazine's Instagram profile (2023), and more recently, the publication of a series of photographs in the book NHUDES JOURNAL #2, by OBENTŌ PRESS (2024); he also had poems published in APNEIA magazine (2017-2019).

Through portraits, still lives, street, landscape or architecture photography, and a focus on artistic and conceptual photography, I create images and capture moments worth immortalising. It comes as natural and inescapable as breathing.

Because of my studies and the experimentation with analog photography, I developed a great interest and importance in the artistic process and methods, which translates into shooting with film, a physical and manual process in every step, from the loading of the film to the development and printing, conveying the importance and uniqueness of every shot (as a metaphor to us, perhaps).

I will take pictures until my last breath.
