Hello guys, my name is Alexandre , I was born in a small city of Minas Gerais, Brazil. When I was seven I moved with my family to São Paulo, the biggest Brazilian city.

I always enjoyed arts and I really like the way the artists create with forms and colors. This passion was the strongest reason that made me spent a lot of hours studying and researching about art. The basic anatomy and color is very important. I never went to art schools because they are very expensive and I wish rather to find my own way and answers.

There are a lot of good artists who I do admire and use as reference and inspiration.

I learned to work with oil on canvas and a lot of different styles. When I was twelve years old I began to enjoy comics. My first training about oil on canvas came from Mrs. Evany, a great friend, who was very kind and patient with me, tought me some steps to how to deal with the material, her help was very fundamental, thanks Mrs. Evany.

When I was seventeen yearas I began to concentrate myself on comics, studing anatomy and perspective very hard twice a week in a library, I also visited a lot of art galleries in a neighborhood named Embu (very famous about arts).

There are moments in the artist's life that his work is not appreciated and some times gets bad reviews, he must love what he does and know how to handle with these.

I love some themes, like exotic landscapes and the women.

Thank you all
Alex Miranda
