NOMEN, aka Nuno Reis, was a pioneer of Graffiti Art in Portugal, since 1989, and unfortunately for the whole art community, he passed away in 2022.
All artworks signed by the artist are exclusively unique and special, as there will be no more signatures made by Nomen.
Nomen’s art (1974) was born on the streets. He was a pioneer of graffiti in Portugal.
The self-taught visual artist’s universe has been consolidating in a multiplicity of forms and styles since he began to interact with the urban space back in 1989 — from the first illegal incursions on trains and walls, to the development of large-scale works in both expository and institutional environments.
Furthermore, Nomen was versatile and prolific. The self-named “style swinger” was renowned for mastering the balance between shapes and colors, whether in elaborate typographic constructions with a unique dynamic, or in compositions and photo-realistic portraits, where he explored the refinement of elements.
Moreover, his work was featured in countless exhibitions, events, and artistic productions, both in Portugal and abroad.
