Concept

Alfredo Maffei is a Brazilian visual artist, muralist, and lecturer who graduated in Visual Arts from the University of Fine Arts of São Paulo. His greatest quest as an artist is to create expressive works that touch people and inspire them to search within themselves for new ways of seeing the world and life. His works are charged with emotion and meaning, having already been exposed and performed in several countries such as France, England, Mexico, and Germany.
A striking feature of the artist's production is his ease in translating emotions and feelings through loose shapes, precise brushstrokes, and expressive looks that seem to want to speak. Maffei works with different techniques and materials, mixing acrylic paint, pastels, spray, and markers. Each work has its particularity and is designed according to the emotion and feeling that the artist wants to convey in that work, so there is no fixed way of working, each work has its natural, spontaneous process and its own identity, just like us.

A referring theme in the artist's production is the search for ancestry and primordial essence that we all carry within us. His paintings tell stories about Warriors, Shamans, Healers and Mythical Beings who have inhabited our unconscious since time immemorial. The artist seeks to awaken and demonstrate this ancestral strength and power that inhabits us and that inspires us with power and wisdom.
