Kiki Hamann – Fine Artist & Luxury Designer

Kiki Hamann is a celebrated fine artist and visionary designer whose creative journey has spanned the worlds of luxury fashion and fine art. Renowned for her playful, joyful oil paintings that bring expressive women and whimsical character animals to life, Kiki’s work blends storytelling with visual expression — a natural evolution from her early career as a character writer. She describes her unique process as “painting with words and writing with images,” capturing emotion, imagination, and personality in every piece.

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to a Danish family, Kiki’s global experiences have shaped her creative voice. After growing up in Canada and studying in New York City, she spent years in Houston, Texas, before settling in Hollywood, Florida, where her free-spirited surroundings continue to inspire her work. Her artistic style, defined by a vibrant vintage color palette and contemporary edge, infuses her pieces with both nostalgia and modern sophistication. Her signature — captivating, soulful eyes — draws viewers into the emotional world of her characters, whether human or animal.

Before fully transitioning to fine art, Kiki Hamann enjoyed an illustrious career as a groundbreaking luxury pet fashion designer. For over a decade, her brand, Kiki Hamann Canine Couture, stood at the pinnacle of the industry, redefining pet fashion as a bold and eccentric luxury lifestyle brand. As the only pet designer in the world to own flagship stores in Miami, Kiki set new standards in high-end canine couture, blending artistry with innovative design.

Her influence extended to the global luxury market, earning her a coveted invitation to Luxury Living Europe in 2009, where only one representative from each luxury sector was featured. In 2011, Financial Times Europe spotlighted Kiki Hamann Canine Couture in its prestigious Christmas edition, naming her brand among the world’s most exclusive alongside icons such as Tiffany & Co. and Gucci. Collaborations with Uberto Gucci further cemented her status as a creative force who seamlessly merged haute couture with pet fashion.

In 2010, Kiki hosted a record-breaking dog fashion show at the Miami Convention Center, drawing over 10,000 attendees — the largest event of its kind in history — and earning front-page coverage in the Miami Herald.

Following a life-changing accident in 2015, Kiki shifted her creative focus to painting full-time. Her fine art practice has flourished, with her works exhibited in prestigious shows and collections. Today, her paintings invite viewers into enchanting worlds where personal memory, nature, and imagination intertwine — a harmonious reflection of her artistic journey across mediums.

Whether in the world of luxury design or contemporary fine art, Kiki Hamann continues to captivate with her imaginative spirit, bold innovation, and storytelling prowess, leaving behind a legacy of creativity without boundaries.
