Kassia Rico lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. She received her Bachelors of Arts degree from Rhode Island School of Design in 2015. She develops projects in graphic applications and paintings, offering new visions to explore the body and selfhood, while embracing multiplicity and upliftment. Her paintings, utilizing a blend of various oil mediums, pigments and glazes, delves into questions about accident, history, and intention.

Between spontaneity, chance operation, and deliberation, the results are forays into the in-between, in her own specific position and multicultural experience. Her projects have led to a handful of successful collaborations with brands like Poketo, Los Angeles, CA; The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Los Angeles, CA; and she once painted a two-story mural in Downtown Los Angeles, which was given to her from @zoueh_skotnes. Her work is included in the permanent collection of The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Los Angeles, CA; and in the private collections in California, New York, Taiwan, and Seoul.
