Mario Nieva is an interdisciplinary artist from Argentina who developed his practice worldwide. OTI is a printed art project based on his drawings, which participated in Cairo Art Book Fair Egypt (CABF2024), MIGRA Art Book Fair Argentina (2025), and Singapore Art Book Fair (SGABF2025). His work blends symbolic exaggeration and explicitness with a bittersweet tone. "A pencil is connected to emotion. Images are mirrors of our circumstances. Harmony is fragile. Drama quickly turns into comedy. I strive to make a doodle speak, carefully listening to the lines and spaces between intention and expression. Then, the voice of the drawing emerges".

Here is a description of three zines we are planning to sell at KLABF 2025:
LOOKING FOR MYSELF IN YOU
Desperate beings searching for something lost, trapped in a constant state of confusion. Weakness that reveals kindness. "Looking for Myself in You" is a brief chronicle of the emotional journeys within relationships—care, risk, protection, and the complexities of loving and being loved in the fast pace of everyday life.
Limited Edition of 300 signed and numbered by Artist. Zine. B/W Offset 52 pages staple-bound. Size 15 x 20 cm. Softcover, Paper: Chambril 90 gsm.
PSYCHO CITY - ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE
Portraits of disbelief, anger, and urban perversion are an invitation to a tour through a city of intense characters. Facing your demons means losing the battle—always moving fast enough to survive. Selfishness rejects inner silence, while obscurity laughs in your face. It’s a new day in the city.
Signed and numbered by Artist. Zine. Risography 26 pages staple-bound. Size 10 x 15 cm. Softcover, Paper: Chambril 90 gsm.
NEVER FELT SO SPECIAL
Egocentrism glitches in the few, letting their warm emptiness pour into a vanity cup. To be special is also to be a little broken. Nothing takes you higher than a rush of attention. Worst-case scenario: you become the friend you need most for yourself.
Signed and numbered by Artist. Zine. Risography 26 pages staple-bound. Size 15 x 20 cm. Golden Cloth Embroidered Softcover w/ custom tag, Paper: Chambril 90 gsm.
