“We artists must transcend the illusion of boredom to achieve our goals.” A.A.

Alexandra Álvarez is a Venezuelan artist and entrepreneur, who portrays her life between two cities, New York, and Jersey. She has developed her artistic work around combining elements destined to generate a discourse with a powerful social message. Art is her channel to find answers and her daily inspiration is her daughter.

Her universe is full of referents such as the vibrant colors of her Caribbean, the mysticism and indigenous cosmology, her life as a woman, as a mother, and as an immigrant, as well as her passion for philosophy, psychology, and humanity.

Her works have been exhibited in Venezuela and in different cities around the world such as Barcelona, Buenos Aires, New Jersey, Portland, Pennsylvania, and New York, she has national and international exhibitions and is currently dedicated to creative work and the support of artists from the execution of dissemination events. Her works are in private collections in Venezuela, Argentina, Spain and the United States.

STATEMENT

BACK TO MY ROOTS SERIES

The modern world is built under the illusions of false needs manufactured by capitalism.

With this project I want to make the community aware that there is a real world out there that we are destroying, and only by going back to the roots will we find salvation. This series is about culture, education, pride, ecology, sustainability, reality, nature, soul medicine, connectedness, and spiritual awareness. My main objective is to educate about the ancient cultures and their connection with Earth.

I use acrylics to express the vibrant colors of my Caribbean as a shield against darkness, and the inspiration of nature as the most authentic representation of God.
