Yomar Augusto is a Brazilian-American artist based in New York City. Working across drawing, calligraphy, typography, and spatial interventions, his practice moves fluidly between studio production and site-specific work. Over the past fifteen years, he has developed an interdisciplinary language shaped by lived experience across the Americas and Europe.

Now grounded in New York, Augusto’s work engages the city as both context and catalyst—where histories of mark-making, language, and urban inscription converge. His practice investigates the tension between the physical and the digital, translating gestural, hand-driven processes into evolving visual systems that operate across material and immaterial space.

Yomar's work is defined within spatial limits, but within these borders his gestures, his movements — sometimes thoughtful, sometimes mimetic — are characterized by a flow, by a natural organic abstraction. His work mirrors his personality: it is faithful to his way of thinking, it can be conceived as an apparent intricate language that makes itself understood through the strong beauty of the forms, through a Brazilian playfulness and an honest transparency that reveals our — his and ours — randomness.

Portraits and studio Photography by Adrian Alston

I build with my family behind me.
My mother embroiders.
My father photographed himself in the desert.
My sister binds books by hand.
My aunts painted color into memory.
My brother in law has a 1000 styles.
My cousins carve masks and photograph life.
What began at home becomes work for the world.
