BIOGRAPHY

Nano4814’s artwork is intuitive and multidisciplinary (painting, sculpture, installation, wall painting), he could even combine several techniques in the same piece. His dynamic compositions start from figuration and anthropomorphic forms to become abstract images. He overlaps and mixes parts of human bodies in precarious balance. In his latest works, the image is distorted, as it tends to further decompose the human figure, reducing it to basic parts such as noses, mouths or eyes that reinforce that sense of abstraction.

He conceives oniric scenarios, combining symbolic elements that frequently appears in his artworks: brick walls, perforated wire fences, broken wooden palisades … Objects that speak of intrusion and transgression, acting as some kind of mask. Barriers that suggest or hide a truth, giving clues but avoiding clarifying the painted (or sculpted) reality. Sort of ambiguity that is the most important characteristic of Nano's work.

After studying fine arts and passing through a brief formative stage in London, in such prestigious schools as Saint Martins School of Arts and the London College of Printing, he moves to Madrid in 2004 where he develops his work as an artist, exhibiting in galleries and participating in different projects both in Spain and abroad, bringing inside his own experience working outdoors and questioning personal subjects in a strange context.

Within projects in which Nano has participated we could highlight «Planet Prozess» in Berlin, the exhibition Urbanitas in the MARCO museum of  Vigo, Street Art in the Tate Modern in London, Street Art en la Tate Modern de Londres, Crossing Borders/Crossing Boundaries in the SAM Museum de San Petersburgo or Venturing Beyond in the Sommerset House of Londres, among many others.
Nano is part of the artistic team «Equipo plástico», along with Eltono, Sixe Paredes and Nuria Mora.
