Nuno Viegas - Nuno Viegas, Glove x 400ml SOW01. Nuno Viegas (Portugal, 1985) Glove x 400ml SOW01, 2021 Acrylic on Linen It was during his time in the Netherlands that he discovered a new artistic identity and began to develop his painting technique, with themes strongly influenced by the world of graffiti. This has been the focal point of his production and continues to be his greatest source of inspiration. His work presents us with a contrast between the visually aggressive and sometimes dirty reality of traditional graffiti, and his own peaceful and clean representation of that same reality. The approach to this theme stands as a continuous tribute to all those who dedicate part of their lives to this art form: graffiti writers who keep tradition alive in a time where the definition of graffiti tends to be blurred and mixed with street art.
