At the age of 29 years, Maxwell Alexander portrays in his work an urban poetic passing by the construction of narratives and scenes structured from their daily experience the city and in Rocinha, where was born, works and lives.

The early 'Pardo is Paper' refers to May 2017, when the artist painted some self-portraits in brown sheets of paper lost in the studio. In this process, besides the powerful aesthetic seduction, he realized the political and conceptual act that is articulating to paint black bodies on brown paper, since the "color" brown was used for a long time to ensure the blackness. "The brown design found in birth certificates, in curricula and black ID cards of the past, It was necessary for the redemption process, in other words, whitening of our race. However, nowadays, with internet, debates and awareness and claims of minorities, blacks started to exercise his voice, to be understood as black and boast, assuming your nose, your hair, and building their self-esteem by exaltation of what is, from yourself. This phenomenon is so strong and relevant, that the concept of brown now gained a pejorative sound within the black collective. Tell a black it is dark or brown can be a big problem, since, Pardo's Paper ", Maxwell notes.
"I am delighted and proud to present this young talent. Maxwell is a natural leader, It has great ability to attract young people from other languages, managing to unite the forces and all the new experiences of young people who are the future of Brazil.
