Caio Alvarez, alias GrotesqueChiq, is an artist and 4D painter. He dropped out art school in Florianópolis, and currently lives and works in Curitiba, Brazil. Lifetime computer and internet “fiend” and art nerd, all his NFT projects circle around abandonware exploration, aesthetically and somewhat philosophically. He enjoys the dichotomy of working with janky, forgotten, cumbersome and sometimes overly simplistic software in a space that values and praises the speed and «cutting-edge» factor of technology and art.

GrotesqueChiq had pieces shown at exhibitions on the Netherlands, Switzerland, and over here in Brazil, all of them focusing on emerging digital artists.

“It’s cool, i have a very special hoster of collectors i would say, a lot of extremely talented artists and people that i was a fan of even before the whole NFT ecosystem was a thing, so it’s a reassuring feeling, to have found and attracted a really quality audience that supports me and keep my desire to pursue a career on the Arts a reality. That thing they say that «you don’t find your audience, but you audience finds you» was very true in my case i guess”.
