Candles – Kika

Candles – Kika
Kika was born in Coimbra but her parents registered her in a small village in the interior so she could say she was from the countryside. She finished her Master’s degree in Architecture at the University of Coimbra in 2016 and moved to London, where she dedicated herself to professional overthinking full-time and to architecture in her spare time.
Kika returned to Portugal in 2019 where she was an architect, designer, producer, guide, festival-goer and eventually stumbled into illustration by a happy accident or two. She completed her Specialization in Illustration at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Porto in 2022.
Currently living in Porto with a wild cat called Ofélia, she divides her time between illustration, ceramics and hope for humanity.
