Alexandre Vieira has started his art career in 2010 with the creation of Wide Painting, a contemporary art gallery located in Paris in the famous St Germain area.  

Elected the youngest gallerist in France in Edgar Magazine in 2012, Alexandre Vieira has had the will to help and promote several of his contemporaries, launching 6 emerging artists on the art market : Marion Colomer and Timothée Talard from Beaux-Arts de Paris, Julien Grudzinski from Beaux-Arts d’Aix-en-Provence, Catherine Javel from Beaux-Arts de Versailles, the fashion photographer Susanne Stemmer and the street artist Le Diamantaire.  

With Wide Painting, Alexandre Vieira has supported these artists, in a continual artistic dialogue on their works, creating 13 exhibitions in his gallery in Paris and 4 "off the wall" exhibitions : in Paris at the Parc de Bagatelle and at the restaurants Miss Ko and Jacopo on Champs-Élysées, in New York at the restaurant Cipriani.  

By the quality of Alexandre Vieira’s artistic choices, Wide Painting has been selected to be represented on Artsy, the art world leader web platform, from 2016 to 2022. Wide Painting has made exhibited its artists in museums, in Paris at the Palais de Tokyo and at Art 42; in international art fairs, in Paris at the Show Off art fair and at the Nuit Blanche event selected by the Paris City Hall, in Italy at the Venice Art Biennale at the Palazzo Mora selected by the European Cultural Centre.

Since 2010, Alexandre Vieira has visited major international art fairs as Art Basel in Basel and Miami to meet his collectors and to follow and analyze the art market.
