Hello
My name is Cris Alvarez and I'm from Barcelona.
Although before I started painting I was mainly interested in photography and cinema, I decided to study Fine Arts to know all the disciplines related to the Visual Arts before focusing on the one I had in mind, ... but once I entered the University of Barcelona I was especially fascinated by painting,. Today it is still the discipline along with photography with which I express myself best.
Art for me is a way to express my pleasures, my nostalgia, my realities, my fears, my love and everything I carry inside.
I believe that everyone should have their space to be able to project their emotions through the arts, be it music, dance, poetry, acting or as in my case through painting and photography, even if not professionally, that's the least relevant.
Throughout these years there have been many people who ask me what do you think when you paint? it is a question that is repeated a lot, and I always tell them that I see my paintings as puzzles, that I have to solve, starting with some form and then it is as if my head and my hands know what comes next.
