Since she was a little girl, Mindy has had the ability to draw and throughout her life she has maintained closeness to art, born in New York, she was diagnosed with autism when she was a child, but she points out that this was not the origin of her problems but the of the difficulty you have to learn.

She says:

I started drawing when I was barely a year old, and I have not stopped since then, it's like a cigarette, it's become quite a compulsive habit and anxiety increases when I'm not drawing.

His work is immersed in what is known as outsider art, this is a school where his works are mainly by self-taught, people who work and believe in isolation, visionaries and psychotics, so their work according to authors leads Outsider label, however for Alper is ART and his works is his freest form of expression he has found.

His mind is complex, it is a labyrinth from which ideas flow impressively and his vision of the world is unique; everything that is today had greater relevance to a fact happened in his life in 1986 where he suffered a major nervous breakdown due to accumulated situations since childhood and lost the ability to write and speak.
