About Flavio Mendes Kiko

His artistic method is marked by confident, deliberate gestures and an intuitive, psychographic flow, offering the viewer a sense of gentle reflection and emotional presence. Rather than positioning himself as a non-academic artist, Flavio is engaged in a practice of pure creation, free from cultural ornamentation, like a necessary act of breathing that shapes a self-sustaining creative awareness. Two recurring themes anchor his graphic work on paper: cities and women. For Flavio, these represent home harbours grounding

He embraces artistic wandering with gratitude, giving himself fully to the adventure of creation with unwavering confidence. For Flavio, this pursuit of freedom and spontaneity is the essence of being a contemporary artist. Unlike the common view of adolescence as a distant and defined memory, Flavio, like many Brazilian artists, sees no boundary to it. It remains present, ongoing, formative.points that allow him to navigate far from the structured world of his past career in engineering and mathematics.

His work exists in a continuous present: the hand drawing, the eye anticipating, the mind inviting the spirit to explore new layers of meaning. This eternal adolescence guides the artist into a spiritual dimension, where every artwork becomes an exploration of the infinite potential of imagination.
