This work impressively captures the majesty of the Ponta da Armação Naval Complex lighthouse. Artist Alex Carvalho masterfully conveys the solidity and safety provided by this imposing structure, using a color palette that highlights the harmony between the building and the Niterói sky. The shadows and nuances express the symbolism of light and protection, central elements in this piece that invites the observer to reflect on the importance of lighthouses in navigation and maritime safety.
Alex began his artistic career in early 2017, when he watched a video online of a person painting roses on canvas. This moment was decisive and inspiring, leading him to explore the world of painting. He began producing small studies on canvas as a hobby, experimenting and discovering his own artistic expression. Alex has always had a deep admiration for landscapes, which naturally influenced his early works. He dedicated himself to painting small canvases that captured the serenity and beauty of nature, using colors and techniques that reflected his passion for the subject. The commercialization of his works occurred organically. Alex's talent caught the attention of some people, who were interested in purchasing his paintings. This early recognition was a powerful incentive, motivating him to invest more time and resources into his art. Just six months into his career, Alex reached a significant milestone by exporting one of his works to France. This feat not only validated his talent, but also increased his determination to pursue an artistic career. Since then, Alex has dedicated himself to constantly improving his knowledge and skills, studying new techniques to enrich his art. Alex's journey as a visual artist is marked by continuous growth and the incessant search for improvement.
