Celebrating the artists of Kaleido.

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Hello friends! We are writing to share some unfortunate news. After 4.5 years of building Kaleido, we are saddened to announce that we are shutting down Kaleido - effective immediately.

We are very proud of the product that we built: Kaleido's web and mobile applications, the augmented reality experiences Kaleido activates around artwork, and the MyStudio service for professionals artists. Over the years, we scaled the Kaleido community to over 27,000 artists from 160 different countries.

And yet, in spite of our achievements, we haven't been able to unlock sustained growth, engagement, or monetization on Kaleido. Thus, we've made the difficult decision to close this chapter with Kaleido.

However, we're determined to continue serving artists, galleries, and the broader visual arts community. As a team, we will regroup around a new initiative and business effort. We look forward to sharing that with you in the near future.

If you want to explore the art on Kaleido one last time, we encourage you to visit www.kaleido.art.

Thank you all for your support. We wish you the best on your journey as an artist, collector, or art world professional!

Diego's @diegovallejogarcia work captures the raw energy and fleeting moments of urban nightlife, blurring the line between reality and memory. Through distorted figures, moody lighting, and bold color palettes, his paintings immerse viewers in the chaotic, electric atmosphere of underground spaces.

Ivannia's @ivannia.lasso work confronts the harsh realities of social and economic inequality in overlooked, overcrowded spaces. Using found and discarded materials, her assemblages reflect the dense, informal settlements shaped by systemic neglect and discrimination.

Through her art, she sheds light on one of Latin America's most pressing yet ignored issues housing disparity. See more on Kaleido.

Jessica Britton @jessicabrittonart uses portraiture as a way to explore identity and connection, working with both traditional and experimental oil painting techniques.

A secondary school art teacher, she rediscovered her own creative practice during lockdown, finding that making her own work not only fueled her passion but also enriched her teaching. See more of her work on Kaleido.

In Bastiaen's @bastiaen.art portraits, every brushstroke is a step toward revealing the soul. His expressive, oil-painted faces radiate strength, vulnerability, and the complexity of human emotion. Inspired by generations of family artists and driven by a deep connection to his subjects, Bastiaen captures what lies beyond the surface turning each portrait into a quiet conversation with the viewer.

Objects tell stories, and stories create memories. Through his black-and-white photography, Pablo @pablo.g.r.danielli captures the essence of architecture and space-unadorned yet full of meaning. Each image invites the viewer to explore stillness and structure, where every detail becomes part of a silent narrative.

See more of Pablo's work on Kaleido.
