Kika Carvalho's recognizable style stands out for the recurrent portrayal of people of color in everyday contexts historically associated with privilege, places, and situations where they are generally not represented or associated.
Born in Vitória, Brazil, in 1992, Kika Carvalho is a prominent capixaba visual artist. She holds the distinction of being the first woman to paint murals in the city of Vitória, located in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Her artworks have been showcased in notable venues such as the Pinacoteca and various galleries in Portugal, Italy, the United States, and soon in Spain with Reiners Contemporary Art.
In 2021, Carvalho received a nomination for the prestigious PIPA Award, and the following year, in 2022, some of her works were featured on the program "Encontro com Fátima Bernardes" on TV Globo, where she was recognized as the "Artist of the Week." Carvalho's artistic focus revolves around portraying black women, culture, and African heritage, with blue emerging as the predominant color in her work since 2017.
