In the large-scale murals of Alex SennaFigures gather, greet each other, relax and interact with their own shadows in bold compositions. The Brazilian artist is known for his black and white murals that emphasize community and emotional bonds. Togetherness, safety and positivity permeate the scenes, sometimes playful and sometimes more contemplative. Against colorful backgrounds and amid urban structures, Senna’s pieces emphasize connection, support, reflection and solidarity.

At the end of May, Senna will embark on a tour through Italy, France and Spain to participate in various festivals. Follow that of the artist Instagram for updates.
