Bruno Alves
Biography
"This body of work stems from my research on supports and painting, drawing on my personal experiences in the marginalized outskirts of southern and eastern São Paulo. To create these pieces, I have utilized blankets, sheets, and used clothing, everyday items that not only serve as supports for the canvases but are also integrated into the compositional process of the artworks."
- Bruno Alves
