The moon (lúa in Galician) has accompanied mankind since the dawn of time. Mysterious, its cycles alternate between chiaroscuros, producing a special fascination. LÚA plays with this magic, with the light that escapes from within and with the shadows.
This collection is a tribute to nature, to its beauty and harmony and also a reminder of its fragility. Recognisable volumes acquire greater strength with the light that escapes from within them.
It is a chandelier reinterpreted and taken out of context by playing with words and their meanings. Faces that meet illuminated by a light and the shadows they cast on a wall.
This sculpture is a reinterpretation and homage to Nefertiti, to her era, a reflection on harmony and beauty, what is real and what is a free view of history. The blue finish refers to the Nile and the yellow one to gold.
Arturo Álvarez reflects once again on people and human relationships. NÓS (us) explores group relations, the stated and the unstated. Being together, creating a dialogue alone or in company, increasing with the projections the strength of the reflection.
The name of this sculpture refers to the gentle breeze. Its curves and volumes represent the air circulating in the space, playing with delicacy, constructing harmonious and delicate forms.
In the union of the group lies its strength, which emerges from within, from where light emanates. The sculptures made of rigid and cold tubing are visually firm but ethereal and delicate. The perspective and depth of the projection on the wall underline the power of the tribe.
This sculpture is made from an ancient farming technique, twisting an oak branch on itself, then opening into multiple thinner branches from which graceful herons emerge.
The sculpture refers to the thoughts, to the connections and relationships established by the human mind. A metallic structure in the form of a mesh, which twists on itself, rigid, but also malleable, expanding towards the ends.
The name of the installation means conversation. A group of humans gathered around the word, around dialogue. The sculptures move and talk to each other, some of them open and close their eyes. The light projects them onto the wall, strongly, increasing the intensity of the relationships.
The pandemic made Arturo Álvarez wonder about the look, its intensity, expressivity, intention and beauty. The installation gains strength with the sculptures grouped together, moving and projecting themselves onto the wall, in an intense dialogue between gazes.
Stylized and ethereal sculptures, moving towards abstraction, without losing expressiveness. Once again, human communication appears. The beauty and warmth of wood combined with light and projections bring a new meaning and different nuances.
The sculptures in the Agora collection are inspired by the figures that appear in the Portico of Glory in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. The sculptures turn and look at each other, creating a calm and peaceful dialogue.
Totems wrapped in threads, wrapped in themselves and their problems, they observe us, they dialogue, they look at each other, they look at us. Arturo Álvarez begins a reflection on the human being and their complex relationships, which will continue with other pieces.
