arrived in Nicaraguan art at the age of 18, where he began drawing courses at Casa

Nasser's artistic proposal is:
Expressionist, regionalist, manners and even impressionist, with a clear
weakness for color and an experimental integration of textures. Among his
favorite themes we have: markets, flowers, roosters, cars, wooden and zinc
houses, and of course his best-known series as "Granada doors" worked with
relief texture.

sell his own works and murals for different businesses, schools, hotels, among
others. In 2014 he participated in his first collective exhibition and began to
teach drawing classes "Our little brothers" and in 2017 he obtained
the position of teacher of visual arts at the educational center "Granada
International School"
