Arturo Alvarez is a designer, craftsman and artist. He likes to define himself as a creator, a concept that synthesizes all of the above and with which he feels more comfortable and recognized.
Self-taught, rebellious, always curious, he does not like to impose limits on himself. There are three defining moments in his career. During the early years he explored and worked with figurative concepts, based on nature. In a second period, he moves towards abstraction, exploring simple geometric shapes. Without abandoning references to nature, the human body appears, a theme that is repeated and on which he continues to investigate over the years. Today, Arturo Álvarez develops new forms of expression and language, with light as the central theme and the human being and their relationships as protagonists, with their lights and shadows, consensus and conflicts, themes that concern him and which he explores in depth through different techniques and materials.
Recognition for his work, over a career spanning more than thirty years, came in the form of prestigious international awards and numerous prizes as an innovator in the field of light.
In July 2020, the creator Arturo Álvarez put an end to a stage in his working and creative life by selling the lamp company that he founded at the beginning of his career. His work currently focuses on making sculptures, unique or limited pieces, with light as the common thread. He will continue to defend the same values that gave him international recognition: honesty, professionalism and a humanistic vision of life.
Arturo Álvarez is a renowned Spanish artist, whose work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally, from Barcelona and Madrid, to London and New York; he has been part of museums, galleries and art exhibitions, as important as DDC Gallery , Arco, Mint, Art Madrid, among others.
