About - Colourful Ka

hey you 👋🏻

Thanks for popping by.

I’m Ka Pok, the face behind Colourful Ka.

Ka is how I like to be called by my friends (or by everyone actually) and it means “soul” in Egypt.

Colourful Ka inspires people to connect with the colours of their soul! 🌈✨

artist

Being a self-taught artist, I’ve been painting since I was a kid. For me, art is a way to give form to the whispers of the soul.

IMMIGRANT

In 2015 I sold everything I had in Brazil to a fresh new start in Australia. 10 years later and with my citizenship in hand, I now call this country my home.

BLOGGER

I created my first blog in 2001, when I was only 10 years old. I have always loved sharing my life in the digital world, and this blog is like my second home.
