Kaio Fialho is resisting the urge to talk about himself in third person but failed miserably. He is a Brazilian artist, illustrator and graphic designer based in São Paulo, Brazil.

He considers he is all over the place in the creative field, loving arts and crafts, graphic and digital design. This identity inconsistency still gives him lots of anxiety and sleep paralysis. Though I (the narrator) think it is a strong characteristic.

Kaio's work surrounds his personal and intimate issues, using art as a way to process his feelings and deal with his self knowledge journey. He loves to find his job in the threshold between sadness and humor and if he sees an opportunity to put a teardrop, he will undoubtedly stick it on someone or something.

Currently he is a letterboxd obsessed user and lover of questionable pum jokes. Kaio thinks it is difficult to choose something favorite but when someone asks him, he instantly answer "the office", "dancer in the dark" and "cassava".

If you want to talk with Kaio, I am sure he would love to chit chat, just mail him at oi@kaiofialho.com. He is available for freelance work, collaboration, and commission!
