SANTA MONICA, CA - Lois Lambert Gallery presents Layers of Light, the most recent exhibition of work by artist Raquel Alvarez. Alvarez is an artist from Mexico City, dedicated to painting. She works with oil on canvas and wood panels, using traditional oil painting techniques to create abstract compositions with vibrant colors and layered geometric forms. She utilizes thin, transparent layers of paint to achieve luminosity, subtlety, and depth in her paintings. Alvarez begins with loose, spontaneous brushstrokes, allowing these intuitive marks to gradually guide the development of her composition and reveal the central subject of the piece. Often, Alvarez is inspired by nature and the elements, which inform her color palette and the theme of her paintings. “Nature, the great universe that gifts us every day, is something we often overlook precisely because of its everyday presence.” With her abstract works, Alvarez chooses a form of expression that provokes emotions and interpretations. Alvarez paints to create a universal visual language that resonates across diverse audiences, transcending any ideological or linguistic boundaries. Each of her paintings possess a vibrant play of color where micro and macro worlds intersect, creating chromatic universes that seem threedimensional. Alvarez’s use of color serves as an optical magnet for the viewer, captivating and inviting one to look closer at the myriad of textures and intricacies in eah piece. Raquel Alvarez is an artist based in Mexico City, Mexico. She received her BA in Graphic Design from Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City. She has participated in master artists’ workshops where she has not only honed her painting skills, but also expanded her artistic repertoire to include printmaking and ceramics. Her work has been shown throughout Mexico, including at the Museo de Arte Popular and Museo de El Carmen in Mexico City. This will be Alvarez’s first exhibition in the U.S.
