José Madera Niño (Venezuela) is an artist with a long career, trained in Pure Art, at the Escuela de Artes Plásticas Cristóbal Rojas, in Caracas (1977-1979) and guided in his artistic training by teachers Saúl Huerta and Pedro León Zapata. Madera Niño finds in urban culture an arsenal of images that have been a graphic stimulus for his work. He stops with a sensitive eye on the chaos of the city, on the traces that time leaves on the surfaces of the streets, on the abandoned billboards, on the buildings, on the walls that keep layers and layers of painting.
