Nuno Viegas

Nuno Viegas, aka Metis, is a Portuguese artist born in Faro and raised in Quarteira. Founder of the art collective Policromia Crew, he started his artistic journey with graffiti in 1999. After completing his studies in Visual Arts at the University of Algarve, he moved to Rotterdam in the Netherlands where he discovered a new artistic identity and began to develop his painting strongly influenced by graffiti. Nuno presents a contrast between the visually aggressive and sometimes dirty reality of the graffiti subworld and his peaceful and clean representation in his works. The approach to this theme is a continuous tribute to all those who dedicate part of their lives to this culture, in search of moments, for almost nothing, in the heart of a society whose main objective is the conquest of money and power.
