About

Based in Paris, João Delfim is a visual artist, art director and poet originally from Porto, Portugal. After obtaining a Master’s degree in Printmaking from the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, he has developed a series of self-publications, using traditional etching techniques to create handcrafted artist books and zines as illustrated, two-dimensional worlds for his poetry. As an emerging printmaker and editorial designer, João draws inspiration from the vintage zine aesthetic and his work often references coming-of-age and homoerotic themes in Western cinema and television culture (John Greyson, Edmund White, Oscar Wilde).
