Nomen blends vibrant colors with precise calligraphy.

Nomen, a pioneer of spray-can photo-realism in Portugal, began creating figurative faces in 1994. Known for his dynamic approach, each piece features ever-evolving techniques, materials, and colors, with faces and expressions as his signature.

In 2012, amid Portugal's crisis, Nomen believed his art could inspire a political revolution. With widespread discontent over government corruption, austerity, and foreign influence, the people demanded change. Nomen’s work aimed to awaken the nation during this turbulent time.
