ARTIST STATEMENT
?I am interested in mixing, fusing and experimenting? says Ã?lvarez, who uses materials as diverse as candle wax, found objects, natural pigments from Morocco, clay and photographs in her energetic canvases. [?] ?My paintings are dialogues with myself and the things that surround me ? dialogues which combine every possible way of communicating?, the artist explains.
