His full name is Nicanor Piñole Rodríguez. Born in Gijón in 1878, in 1892 he went to Madrid to enter the San Fernando School of Fine Arts.

On returning to Spain, he established himself in his hometown. His artistic work comprises landscapes, scenes of daily life, portraits, self-portraits and popular scenes.
