01 / THE ARTIST & THE SHADOW
My story.
Behind the Umbras.
I am Alex Benedith, a Brazilian artist driven by surrealism, nostalgia and the desire to create worlds. My visual language has grown through digital manipulation, 3D and painting, informed by artists such as Salvador Dalí, Grant Wood and Vincent van Gogh.
At the heart of my work are the Umbras: emotional shadows of the human condition. They reflect what we are, what we wish to become and what we may never be. Solitude, anger, joy and longing find their own shapes within them.
Alongside my practice in art direction and design, I continue to explore how technical experimentation can become a personal way of understanding human nature.
