Wallace Alves was born in Cataguases, in the State
of Minas Gerais, Brazil. His interest for Arts turned
out while he was still a child, when he made his first
drawings with pencil and his first paintings with
gouache.
At the beginning, all his works were figurative. He is
graduated from the Minas Gerais Federal University,
with a specialization in neurosurgery and spinal sur-
gery at the Minas Gerais Hospital Foundation.
He is currently a neurosurgeon and is working in
two hospitals: the Materdei and the João XXIII.
Self-taught painter, he has been influenced by the
abstract impressionists, but also got some inspirati-
on from great Flemish masters as Vincent Van Gogh
and Willem de Kooning and from the german artist
Gerard Richter.
