Born in 1974 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria,
He graduated in Fine Arts from the University of La Laguna and began exhibiting his work in 2002.
His works have been selected in biennial exhibitions in both Las Palmas and Tenerife, earning first prizes such as the Excellens for sculpture from the Royal Academy of BB.AA of San Miguel Arcángel (2011) or the Manolo Millares CajaCanarias First Prize (2009).
In 2006 he held his first individual exhibition, which he titled Buscador de nortes, in which under the motto “where everything is done and everything to be done” he would present a collection of veiled tributes to some of the sculptors he admires, Brancusi and Giacometti among others.
Nicanor is a Brossian sculptor. It is enough to see some of his works to understand that his creativity aspires to give shape to a work that will be a caustic alteration of the object and its meaning, always proposing a new and unusual one, and that such work postulates in many cases a Dadaist position that approximates Arp and Duchamp.
Its sculptural intensity is poetic in nature. Perhaps that is why his work seems so comfortable and rigorously expressive when he embraces the legacy of the avant-garde, especially Dadaism, and their ability to make self-sufficient objects, closed entities with which a cultural key is essential to communicate.
