Nicolás Cespedes is a Peruvian artist currently based in São Paulo, Brazil. His work addresses modern society’s unnatural habits, emphasizing the impacts on mental, physical and environmental health. Using a variety of materials and intuitive techniques, Nicolas creates works that feel very impulsive and free.

The gestural markings, rescued materials and non-traditional techniques in his practice portray the reality of the streets of downtown Latin American cities where he spent most of his time as a professional skateboarder. This informal environment he creates wishes to reach into the core of the spectators’ soul and connect with them in that state of purity.
