\"Amid<\/p>\n

In the large-scale murals of Alex Senna<\/a>, figures gather, greet one another, relax, and interact with their own shadows in bold compositions. The Brazilian artist is known for his black-and-white murals<\/a> that emphasize community and emotional bonds. Togetherness, security, and positivity pervade the scenes, sometimes playful and other times more contemplative. Set against colorful backgrounds and amid urban structures, Senna\u2019s pieces emphasize connection, support, reflection, and belonging.<\/p>\n

At the end of May, Senna embarks on a tour across Italy, France, and Spain to participate in several festivals. Follow the artist\u2019s Instagram<\/a> for updates.<\/p>\n
