Alex Greghi is an realist artist and an art educator. Originally Brazil, now lives and works in Langley, BC.
After years of learning, his advertising work lost focus and was replaced by the work as an artist/educator. Co-founder of Atelier Contraponto, where he taught drawing and painting. He also worked in Fundação Casa, a correction facility for minors, teaching drawing.
Now he teaches at the Langley Arts Council and at the Shadbolt Centre, in BC, Canada.
His work is realistic and pictorial, emphasizing the feeling of reality, not a simple copy of it. It strives for movement and subjectivity, through abstraction and a translation of reality.
Since 2006, Alexandre has participated in many exhibits in Canada, Brazil, and internationally.
