Nuno Viegas began his journey into graffiti in 2001, founding the Policromia Crew. After completing a degree in Visual Arts at the University of the Algarve, he moved to Rotterdam, where he apprenticed under Dutch artist Tymon DeLaat and developed the distinctive artistic identity for which he is now known.
With a career marked by exhibitions and urban art festivals across multiple countries, Viegas has established himself as one of the most recognised names in the new wave of contemporary urban art.

In this new body of work, Viegas reflects on the intersection between past and future, rebellion and responsibility, anonymity and legacy. His personal journey from adolescent graffiti to fatherhood serves as a starting point for a broader exploration of the values that shape our identity and what we choose to pass on to future generations.
“Graffiti was one of the biggest influences in my life, teaching me about brotherhood, freedom and experiences lived for the sheer joy of the moment,” says Viegas. “In a world driven by money and power, graffiti reminds us that true happiness lies in the memories and bonds we create along the way.”
