Antonio Neves Nobre

António Neves Nobre (1993, Lisbon) lives and Works in Lisbon. His paintings are the result of a process focused on revealing/concealing layers of paint and colour, through various types of marking tools. Due to its intricate reading, the images are practically severed from figurative representation. Instead, they are preoccupied with the atmospheric quality rendered by the tension between the form and the background.
