Alessandro Lima

Alessandro Lima, 1980, Juiz de Fora, MG, Brazil.
Lives and works in Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil.
He has a Bachelor degree in Painting and Print from the Fine Arts School of Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais and a teacher degree in Drawing and Plastics. He developed his works at Pixel Art, where he makes use of pixels in his paintings. A pixel is nothing more than a square, a black or white square, or of whatever color you wish; in this way, when we square out a sheet of paper or canvas we have a simulacrum of a digital image, an image that is still blank, leaving only the tone or color for each one of the squares to be defined and thus form an intelligible, recognizable image. Such image may resemble a cloud, a fish or a boxer, but is nothing more than the assemblage of beautiful colored squares.
