“Nuno Serrão is a Portuguese photographer, interested in the dialogues between science and contemporary art. Each of his images considers how information is handled, shared, and perceived, framing scenarios as micro-narratives, demonstrating a sensitivity and a curiosity for the planet and its inhabitants.

Christina Nafziger, Create! Magazine, 2021
“(…) They depict deserted landscapes being at times overtaken by imposing brutalist architecture, translating a form of melancholy through its aesthetic simplicity. The cinematic compositions, deprived of human life, show places of passage and transition where time seems to stand still for a relieving moment of quietness before a choreography of movements resumes.

Hi, I’m a Portuguese photographer and filmmaker born on Madeira Island. My blank slate starts with a functional level of emotion, logic, minimalism, and curiosity; I consider these to be the building blocks of my life and creative process.
Led by curiosity, I often create or document ambiguous but frameable narratives about uncomfortable topics that, in the end, pose a new set of questions, keeping alive the mystery about us, the Universe and what is fundamental or emergent.
If an answer is to be found, it will come from the realm of non-locality, with the sum of all relatable questions. However, even if the perfect answer is like the speed of light, exponentially harder to come close to, and impossible to achieve, nothing will give me more pleasure than to keep finding things out.
