Daniel Kondo
Brazilian author, illustrator
and book-object designer
Daniel Kondo creates books where image, structure and rhythm shape the act of reading.
His work explores the book as a structure of image, rhythm and time. Through picturebooks, editorial projects and visual narratives, he investigates how meaning is built through sequence, scale, silence and the physical act of reading.
Rather than treating design as a surface applied to the book, Kondo works with form as part of the narrative itself. Page turns, material choices, typography and visual rhythm become elements of reading.
His books and projects have circulated through publishers, exhibitions, awards and cultural institutions in Brazil and abroad, connecting children’s literature, music, design and contemporary visual culture.
He is based in Punta del Este, Uruguay.
