📸 Alexandre Duarte

Photographer, visual artist, and founder of StartArt.

With over 20 years of professional experience, Alexandre has built his career working with photography studios for more than a decade in Brazil, developing a strong foundation in both technical mastery and artistic direction.

Half Brazilian and half Portuguese, he brings a unique cross-cultural perspective to his work — shaped further by travels to 50+ countries, where he explored people, stories, and visual expression across different cultures.

✨ StartArt was created from this journey.

Not just as a place to stay, but as a carefully curated creative environment — where artists can step away from distraction and reconnect with their work on a deeper level.

🌿 His Approach

Alexandre’s guidance goes beyond technique.

He works closely with participants to:

refine their artistic vision
develop a personal visual language
create work with depth, meaning, and authenticity

His presence offers a balance of professional expertise and intuitive mentorship — helping you elevate your work while staying true to your voice.

✨ This is not just a retreat —
it’s an opportunity to learn, create, and grow with an experienced artist in a space designed for transformation.
