About

Hailing from Sao Paulo, Brazil, street artist and illustrator Alex Senna creates vivid expressions of human love, romance and relationships through youthful and nostalgic symbols such as hearts, birds and balloons.

His work is composed almost entirely in black and white, making his messages come across simple, clear, and straight from the heart.

"I have always admired certain artists’ ability to reflect life, not as it is, but as we perceive it; where emotions are more indicative of how we view the world than our senses. That’s what art is all about, right? Feeling something.
