Kim Poor

I'm a Brazilian artist working in Rio and London. My unique technique of glass fused on steel plate was baptised ‘Diaphanism’ by Salvador Dali and my work has been exhibited worldwide. It also features on record sleeves and in a book illustrating the lyrics of British rock band Genesis. I'm very proud to be one of only four Brazilians cited in noted critic Edward Lucie-Smith’s ‘Art Today’ from Phaidon – regarded as a bible amongst art collectors. I'm also known for my jewellery designs, mostly creating one-off sculptural pieces.
