ABOUT THE ARTIST

Erick Costa Kohl

(Brazil)

Erick Costa Kohl, born in Osasco, Brazil, has lived in Berlin for almost 10 years.

With a degree in fashion, he found embroidery on photographs and maps as a way of expressing his feelings and creativity. His work has already been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions at Berlin Art week and Expo Venice 2021.

ABOUT THE WORK

Erick Costa Kohl encapsulates his thoughts and feelings into tangible art to share with others. Working with photos from flea markets and friends, his intimate process transforms each piece spontaneously. Embroidery is his mantra, healing his anxiety and expressing your real feelings, often using red and gold threads. Inspired by cinema, music, and powerful women, he aims to give lost images new meaning, connecting deeply with his audience.
