Artworks by Artist: Neves, Nelson

Nelson Neves, a Luxembourg-based contemporary painter born in Cape Verde in 1973, blends figurative and abstract styles with vivid, contrasting colors. His work is deeply inspired by African culture, particularly Cape Verde, while also reflecting influences from Luxembourg, where he has lived since childhood. Since his first exhibition in 2001, he has participated in around forty shows across Luxembourg, France, and Cape Verde. In addition to painting, he conducts “African Art” workshops for children, adolescents, and individuals with disabilities. His evolving artistic style continues to convey universal messages of culture, diversity, and connection.

“Through culture, let's share together values ​​such as tolerance, joy, respect, empathy and diversity and build cultural bridges.”

At the age of seven, he emigrated with his parents to Luxembourg. After his primary and post-primary studies,he learned the profession of decorator before launching intopainting. Nelson Neves has received significant media attention, with over thirty articles in Luxembourg newspapers, interviews on various TV channels and radio stations, and is featured in the 2004 documentary Nelson Neves – A Cape Verdean Artist in Search of His Roots / Daily Life in Santo Antão, directed by Fischbach.
