A LITTLE ABOUT THE ARTIST:

"ELBA ALVAREZ WAS BORN IN PEDERNALES, VENEZUELA IN 1944. AT THE AGE OF 18, SHE WENT TO EUROPE AND STUDIED IN PARIS. SHE CAME TO THE UNITED STATES IN 1968 CARRYING THE IDEAS AND VISIONS WHICH WOULD FILL HER CANVASES WITH BOLD, STRIKING COLORS. THE PAINTINGS THAT ALVAREZ CREATED CAUSED GALLERY AFTER GALLERY TO LAVISH HIGH PRAISE FOR HER INNOVATIVE AND PROVOCATIVE ABSTRACTS.

HER WORK HAS BEEN SHOWN SUCCESSFULLY FROM NEW YORK TO HONOLULU, ANCHORAGE TO LONDON. GALLERY SHOWS FEATURING ALVAREZ PAINTINGS HAVE TAKEN PLACE ON FIVE CONTINENTS, MOST RECENTLY PREMIERING IN AFRICA. IN ADDITION, CORPORATE SPONSORS HAVE COLLECTED HER WORK FROM THE EARLY DAYS OF HER CAREER -- IBM, TRW, GULF OIL, GENERAL MOTORS, CITICORP AND XEROX, TO NAME A FEW.

THROUGH HER ART, ALVAREZ HAS EXPLORED NEW DIMENSIONS IN TEXTURE, COLOR AND DEPTH. DETERMINATION AND A CERTAINTY OF HER TALENT ARE EXPRESSED NOT ONLY THROUGH ORIGINAL PAINTINGS, BUT IN LIMITED EDITIONS AS WELL. HER SERIGRAPHY IS CLEARLY AN ART UNTO ITSELF.

USING A SILKSCREEN PROCESS, EACH PRINT IS HAND PULLED IN ALVAREZ'S STUDIO WITH THE HELP OF A MASTER PRINTER AND THE METICULOUS ATTENTION TO DETAIL OF HER BROTHER AND HUSBAND. ONLY THE FINEST MUSEUM QUALITY INKS AND PAPER ARE USED. ALVAREZ SUPERVISES THE ENTIRE PROCESS, INCLUDING HAND PAINTING EACH PIECE WHILE APPLYING THE UNIQUE BLEND OF TEXTURE THAT MAKES EACH PRINT AN "ALVAREZ." THE AVERAGE EDITION SIZE IS QUITE SMALL, MAKING AN ALVAREZ PRINT TRULY- A LIMITED EDITION."
