Alex Senna
This mural by Brazilian artist, Alex Senna, was painted in July as a kick-off to the 2024 SpraySeeMO Mural Festival.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
“Alex Senna is an artist from São Paulo, whose expressive, lanky characters bring a softness to their urban setting. These characters and their interactions typically revolve around love and relationships, whether it be a romance between an elderly couple, playful young lovers or sentiments of a lasting friendship. Senna’s works invite their audiences into these intimate interactions and evoke a feeling of nostalgia."

"The work of Brazilian artist Alex Senna was never about it's decorative value or the painterly skills, but about the people it represents and the atmosphere inspired by everyday life. Living in a vibrant multicultural country full of opposites, he reduced his visual language to black and white silhouette-like characters in order to depict the much needed unity of his fellow countrymen. Senna's work often talks about solitude, love, friendship, passion, conformity and family. Recognized for his compelling public interventions, his work is often interacting with the surrounding or creating simple illusions with clever use of light and shadow."
