ABSTRACT Painting

Born on March 18, 1977, in Santos-SP Brazil, Nando Martins had his first contacts with art as a child, and on his own initiative. Calling attention to the possible birth and encouragement of his mother as a teenager, he began to study drawing and painting at an art school in his hometown. With rapid development and ease of learning, in a short time, he began to assist his teachers in teaching new students. After a few years studying in particular contemporary art and working to develop his own style, his next step was the Pan American School of Arts of São Paulo, where he graduated in Illustration and Santa Cecília de Santos University, graduating in Publicity and Advertising. Nowadays, working as a painter and Illustrator, he has been building a solid and emerging career, gaining a great deal of space in Brazil and in other countries, such as the United States, Australia and Europe, where he exhibits his work and attends to various orders. Recently his art stamped the surfboard of the World Surfing Champion Gabriel Medina around the World, and created Paints, Designs and Illustrations for many projects and celebrities of Brazil.
