ARTISTS
JAVIER ALVAREZ
In my paintings I delve into the depths of the human being going through several dimensions
of the plastic; the line, the color, the shape, the themes of the paintings observe, above all, an
integral sense of added values, which covers the work in a new way of presenting the human
being in a timeless and primitive context, where concepts such as: gestures, angled composition,
materiality, animism, expressiveness among others. The invoice of my work alludes to
a dense texture, loaded and heavy nocturnal atmospheres. Life, death, birth, martyrdom,
sacrifice, mortification, massacre, exodus, migration, rebirth, are themes to refer to matter
and the immaterial, to the essential and anodyne, to «Being » and «BE».

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The genealogy of painting has taught us many important questions about the human being, but I only I would single out one in particular as a generator of artistic and cultural events; that before every image preconceived in advance there is a strong desire for concreteness on the part of the artist, all this is by way of imagination, creativity and research. The artistic work has always called for a spirit of expansion creative and this occurs in the work in small acts that are significant for the artist and that are his contributions in the field of painting, in this simple act beats the entire expansive universe of creation.
