Alex Červený’s work weaves together the worlds of medieval iconography, Renaissance altarpieces, and surrealism, enriching them with literary allusions, elements of popular culture—such as song lyrics and characters from film and television—and personal memories drawn from his own life. Storytelling and the written word play a pivotal role in his creative process, complemented by a deep commitment to technical precision and the joy of artistic creation.

His work is part of important public and private collections, including: Fondation Cartier pour L’Art Contemporain, Paris, France; Tamarind Institute, Albuquerque, USA; Museu de Arte Moderna, São Paulo; Museu de Arte Moderna, Rio de Janeiro; Museu Nacional de Belas Artes, Rio de Janeiro; Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, São Paulo; Coleção de Arte da Cidade, São Paulo; Itaú Cultural, São Paulo; Museu de Arte Contemporânea do Paraná, Curitiba; Fundação Iberê Camargo, Porto Alegre.
