About the Artist:
His “pictorial space” develops: in vanguards and utopias, redefining art’s formalism and abstracting concepts in the protest years 60/70, in the post-modernism and in new ways of contemporarily.

Critic:
Nicolau Campos, Concept, Firmness and Seriousness
The emptiness and fullness, the forthcoming and the distant, all is necessary instead of the superfluous, all the realness instead of the illusive, the inexistent, misleading and apparent, seeing that the only reality that happens of the being is non collective, but it’s own and individual, the one that separates our senses and is affected by the feelings of the moment.

Should be highlighted the seriousness that it has, one by one, each piece from his collection, without worrying about the style or technical side, without jeopardizing the latency of life that originates around it, each character shows the element establishing itself, cold, almost insensitive to what happens, such as wanting to mark the indestructible and the proximity to the ever-lasting.
It will not be an exaggeration to comment that Nicolau Campos looks for immortality in the figure, and that through it, the immortality of the being, therefore the sordid utilization of what is represented, the simplicity of space and it’s wholeness and his walk to where the su...
