Brazilian artist, lives and works in Rio de Janeiro. His poetics consists in the construction of structured narratives and scenes based on his daily experiences in the city and in Rocinha. Maxwell Alexandre explores images that go beyond a mere interpretation of the real. Not only on canvas, but on paper, on pool canvases, wooden doors and aluminum frames, materials that he reuses as a foundation for his aesthetic construction, the artist paints scenes and daily actions from the favela, black bodies in moments of confrontation and situations empowerment.
