Galeria Nuno Centeno is pleased to announce the first Sobral Centeno’s exhibition of 2026, titled Caminho Mão Ferro, curated by Miguel von Hafe Pérez.
The exhibition to be held at Estação das Artes, in Mirandela, consists of a collection of drawings that aim to guide a reflection on the impact of human structures, particularly the railway, on the landscapes of the Douro Valley.
Caminho Mão Ferro is an exhibition composed of several series of works spanning a chronological arc from 2016 to 2025, devoted exclusively to the Douro landscape and to the somewhat nostalgic presence of the train in the definition of a formal and conceptual framework that Sobral Centeno articulates in full resonance with a lived and recurring experience of the region.
