NELO
TEIXEIRA
(b. 1974, Angola)
Nelo Teixeira studied painting and sculpture
through the National Union of Plastic Arts
(UNAP) workshops. He favors paint as well as
recycled waste, like metal, plastic, aluminum,
and glass.
He also makes masks, a family tradition, and
uses urban spaces as inspiration, questioning
the borders between the urban ghetto and the
new city under construction.
He was an artist-in-residency at the Association
for Visual Arts (AVA) (Cape Town, 2018). Lives
and works in Lisbon.
