all about my books

  • Yomar Augusto is a Brazilian-American artist and designer who splits his time between Rio de Janiero and New York City. Over the last 15 years, he's built a reputation as a sought-after studio artist, calligrapher, typographer, and muralist, working independently across three continents.

    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. Eduardo Varella>

  • Art books are where my passion for creative process, precision, and a sense of journey converge. I see each page as a canvas, blending structure with spontaneity, much like my approach to teaching and designing. For me, art books hold a story, not just through images or text, but through the way materials, techniques, and binding choices breathe life into each project. I’m drawn to the potential of layered media, where ink, paper texture, and sometimes even controlled chaos, reflect personal and artistic histories. They’re not just books; they’re immersive experiences, inviting the viewer to slow down, observe, and engage. Crafting them is akin to constructing a world from the ground up, much like a classroom or a design system, where every detail shapes the whole.
