About the Artist
Kille is a visual artist and designer whose work bridges the worlds of toys and visual arts. From a young age, he demonstrated a passion for art, creating and drawing, and selling his first paintings at the age of 16. While studying Architecture in São Paulo, he deepened his engagement with the art scene, taking courses with renowned artists like Carlos Fajardo and Nuno Ramos. With Ramos, he participated in group exhibitions at Sesc Pompeia and Sesc Araraquara, establishing his presence in the visual arts.
After earning his degree in Design, Kille returned to Ribeirão Preto, his hometown, where he co-founded Tapa Galeria with his wife, architect and designer Luciana Pagnano. Through exhibitions in partnership with Galeria Virgílio, he connected his local art scene with São Paulo’s vibrant cultural landscape, maintaining his creative momentum.
In 2011, he founded Kitopeq, a woodworking toy company specializing in interactive and innovative design. In 2018, he launched Milliepacco, a line of collectible vinyl toys that combines design and storytelling, fostering fun and socioemotional learning.
Recently, Kille debuted Kille Puffy Doodle, a series of mini polymer sculptures inspired by pop culture, urban art, and contemporary visual culture. Exhibited at Galeria Kovak & Vieira in São Paulo, these works blend his industrial design knowledge with his creative vision, resulting in playful, irreverent art.
