about

↑Born in Deming, New Mexico and raised in Los Angeles, California, Alvaro Alvillar is a self-taught artist based in Atlanta. He has been exhibiting his work in Los Angeles, Nashville, and Atlanta since 1993. Alvillar’s family emigrated from Chihuahua, Mexico to the US in the early 1950s. His Latin American roots are evident in his colorful palette and cultural iconography.
As a child I was fascinated by color, which grew into a love of contemporary art. I was especially drawn to Salvador Dali in my teens which opened up the world of Surrealism. My self-taught art reflects my love of Pop Art combined with images that are inspired by the subconscious.
