AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
- Artist: Nuno Sardine
- Collection: “Free Hand, Free Expression”
- Piece: Rock N’ Roll
NOTE: This lot contains a mockup made with AI. Please refer to the original photographs to verify the actual condition of the artwork.
In an era where we think freedom of expression is an acquired good, used repeatedly, but we constantly stumble upon the true meaning of expression, often generating conflicts between what is civic and what is unleashed! Never do to others what you don’t like being done to you! This is your freedom! This is expression!
And this collection presents itself with life-size hands that show expressive signs that replace words which, in the moment, say what lies inside us.

- Limited edition of 3 units.
- Numbered and signed and delivered with CoA
Nuno Sardine is a visual artist whose practice balances at the intersection of carnival aesthetics and contemporary art. His painting is marked by a stylistic fusion between pop culture, the graphic rawness of Street Art, and the emotional and pictorial intensity of neo-expressionism. His work explores narratives, themes of identity, and the eternal search for creative transgression. He is also a Portuguese costume designer, widely recognized for his role as artistic director, especially linked to Carnival and samba schools in Portugal. He combines training in visual arts and fashion design with the development of Carnival parades, costumes and storylines, distinguishing himself by creativity in the Carnival universe.
Under his direction, several carnival groups have received prizes, including best costumes, best storyline and most original show, having been crowned local and national champions several times.
These aspects have consolidated his reputation as one of Portugal’s most innovative carnival artists, bringing an artistic approach that values creativity and the visual narrative of Carnival, emphasizing the "Open-Air Theatre".
Nuno Sardine is frequently invited to workshops, seminars and talks about Carnival, costumes and creativity.
