Bernardo Nieves is a Venezuelan artist born on October 18th, 1961, in the quaint, small-town (at the time), city of Barquisimeto. A plastic self-taught artist who has sought instruction and knowledge with great effort, that began as a craft simple craft "hobby" which takes a big part in his life that today is grateful for. From his first steps in painting, passion for landscaping washes are printed on cardboard chimo-sepia, where he expressed his vision through cobbled streets, adobe houses, and mills.
