Sigo esperando nuestra cena romantica (2022)

(Buenos Aires, 1985) He started twenty years ago signing Ever and making
graffiti in the streets of his native Buenos Aires, a city that was experiencing the hangover
of a military dictatorship that had lasted eight years and that in those
moments he understood street art as an expression of freedom. He
He moved away from graffiti to begin developing mural work with which
experiments and plays with the symbolic load of him in his confrontation with the
public space.
Currently, Nicolás is developing his work around the
“Dead Natures”, with which through the union of elements he has
found a way to use the image as a social reflection and
anthropological research. He works through traces that he finds in his
most immediate context, result of the social fabric and symbols born
of the coexistence of social, cultural and economic factors. From
soda bottles to religious prints, political symbols, icons
contemporary or something as seemingly innocent as fruits and vegetables
They are part of these compositions that he uses as a bridge to talk about
more complex realities.
