He exhibited individually from 1948 onwards. In 1960 he was awarded the Silva Porto prize from the SNI.

Sá Nogueira, influenced at first by neo-realist aesthetics and coinciding with his stay in London, by the imagery of Pop art, evolved into a very free figuration and close to poetic informalism It is marked by the dynamics of color, in contrasts of great sobriety and expressive value, punctuated by signs of plastic, sensitive and luminous writing.
