Yhago

Yhago is a contemporary visual artist known for their evocative explorations of memory, identity, and the interplay between the personal and the universal. Born in 1989 in São Paulo, Brazil, Yhago's early fascination with color and urban landscapes deeply informs their work, which ranges from mixed media installations to digital art and painting. After studying at the Escola de Comunicações e Artes at the University of São Paulo, Yhago began exhibiting in local galleries, quickly gaining recognition for their ability to blend traditional Brazilian motifs with global contemporary references.

With works featured in group and solo shows in São Paulo, Berlin, and New York, Yhago has developed a reputation for immersive installations that invite viewers into lush, textural worlds where the boundaries between memory, language, and place are fluid. Their practice is rooted in research and experimentation, often incorporating found materials, archival photographs, and poetic text. Yhago’s work challenges viewers to confront both collective and personal histories, earning acclaim from critics and collectors alike and cementing their position as one of the most compelling voices in Latin American contemporary art today.
