Nikias Skapinakis Seguir artista +
Nikias Skapinakis was a self-taught artist, with independent approach to art that transformed the Portuguese artistic paradigm.
WHe began studying architecture at the Lisbon School of Fine Arts, which he did not complete, but which led him to decide to become an artist. His first exhibition took place in 1948 at the IIIrd General Exhibition of Plastic Arts, alongside notable figures such as Júlio Pomar and Fernando Lanhas. From the beginning, his work revealed independence, with a preference for colorful forms and unique treatment of landscapes and human figures.
Throughout the 1950s, Nikias Skapinakis evolved his interpretation of colors, inspired by the effects of light in natural scenes. He abandoned the initial cubist style and incorporated curved lines, inspired by the Renaissance, into his compositions. His work is characterized by the reduction of images and chromatic exploration.
Even as he experimented with abstraction in the 1960s, his works maintained connections with the figurative tradition. He explored social and urban themes, especially in his series "For the Study of Melancholia in Portugal" (1967-1974), and even ventured into urban graffiti with the "Tag" series in the 2000s.
The work of Nikias Skapinakis stood out for its independence from the main aesthetic debates of the periods in which it was produced, countering, for example, the tendency towards abstraction by affirming the vitality of figurative representation, evident in the second half of the 1950s.
The work of Nikias Skapinakis has been the subject of several retrospective exhibitions. His independent approach to art and his reflection on the visual image in Western culture left a lasting impact on his work.
