The pursuit of aesthetic should be the sole purpose of our lives, the very reason for our existence,
like a whispered promise carried by every breath we take.
Profile
Nuno M Martins, born in Lisbon in 1974 to Cape Verdean parents, has his roots deeply embedded in the vibrant culture of Cape Verde. Growing up in the captivating atmosphere of Mindelo, he absorbed the colors, rhythms, and richness of Cape Verdean tradition from a young age.
Studying in the United States, within the eclectic American environment, not only enriched his cultural background but also solidified his passion for poetry, becoming his primary artistic foundation. Today, Nuno M Martins is a versatile artist who, through poetic expression, written and visual, bridges cultures, uniquely expresses his creole identity, and shares narratives that transcend borders.
His journey is a testament to the transformative power of art, the connection to roots, and intercultural dialogue
