Nomen 1974-2022

In memory of Nuno Reis aka "Nomen" 1974-2022.

NOMEN was a Pioneer of Graffiti Art in Portugal, since 1989, and unfortunately for the whole art community he died in 2022.

Nomen’s art was born on the streets. He was a pioneer of graffiti in Portugal, and a self-taught visual artist whose universe has been consolidating in a multiplicity and registers since he began to interact with the urban space back in 90´s, from the first illegal incursions on trains and walls, to the developed work on a large scale both in expository and institutional environment.

All artworks signed by the artist are exclusively unique and special, as there will be no more signatures made by Nomen.

Furthermore, Nomen was versatile and prolific, the self-named “style swinger” is renowned by mastering the balance between shapes and colors, may it be on elaborated typographic constructions with a unique dynamic, as well on compositions and photo-realistic portraits where he explores the depuration of elements.

Currently his work has been looked for by companies, institutions and private costumers, that search in him an asset, and artistic competence able to solve mural art tasks in their spaces or events.

Although the art of Nomen was born with letters the artist felt a great need to expand his art by adding and developing a new approach to figurative faces, usually women, which has been painting since 1994 when he drew his first face.

Nomen was a pioneer in Portugal by painting photo-realism with a spray can. The world of faces and expressions have become a personal stamp to the artist ever since, and is quite evident in his murals and buildings.
