Contemporary painter of Cape Verde, born on the island of Santo Antão, in 1953, he began his artistic career in 1969 in painting and later in sculpture.
He entered the Escola Superior de Belas Artes de Lisboa in 1985 to study Communication Design until 1990.
In addition to being a painter, sculptor and designer, Kiki Lima is also a composer and interpreter, perhaps because of this his work, expressionist and of great luminosity, seems to reproduce the joyful and, at the same time, warm musical feeling of the Archipelago of Cape Verde. This artistic aspect, as a poet/singer, allows us to see on the canvases a popular joy that is very evident in street conversations, markets, nooks and crannies and dances, almost feeling the sounds of the coladeras with unique rhythms that are already contagious in the world.
The pictorial portrait recreated and recomposed of the urban and rural daily life of the islands, is its master line - routines of celebration and work observed in an expressionism of colors to which the painter prints movements almost cinephiles by way of a rare chromatic fluidity, always with great nostalgic accent.
The Cape Verdean artist, Kiki Lima, has achieved deserved success with hundreds of exhibitions held in various countries.
