Nuno do Carmo is a photographer, painter and writer based in Oslo and working everywhere.

I have created since my early days. Growing up in poverty and with no toys to speak of, me and cousins had to get creative. We would find scattered pieces of past objects in the trash and create our makeshift toys. We would build forts out of old advertising boards. We would draw on the floor if we found pieces of clay from broken bricks.

The creative spark has been a part of me since. As a professional, I moved into human rights and tried to create new solutions to old problems like financial exclusion and homelessness. I have worked a bit all over the world, been in close contact with some dire realities, and have recently decided to step away from the frontlines, slow down, and be more in tune with my creative side. I am now based in Oslo, working in an incredible project.

Photography, painting and words are realms I have explored in an erratic manner. I want to change that and actively contribute to creating emotions. I am able to fully immerse myself in these processes and love to explore smaller details and portray reality in an unconventional manner. There is always a lot more to what we see. There is beauty everywhere. Let us find a way of showing it.
