- Rationale
- Pablo Álvarez is interested in the landscape as a habitable space charged with symbolic elements: shapes, plants, and objects that function as visual metaphors. That "library" of motifs that runs through his work largely stems from his daily life; ultimately, he constructs mental scenarios where memories are transformed into images. In this piece, the landscape is organized into two layers. The first operates as a three-dimensional stage where nature is ordered under a pseudo-artificial logic: each tree, mountain, or cloud occupies an assigned place so that the composition can breathe. It is not a natural landscape, but a constructed nature, almost like in a video game, where the artist can do and undo at will. The work also incorporates a contemporary element: while he was painting the smoke during the summer, real landscapes were burning, and that experience inevitably filtered into the canvas. The second layer places red flowers in the foreground, casting their shadow on a flat surface. Here, a trompe-l'oeil appears: the background is revealed as a postcard, a plane within another plane. With this device, Álvarez addresses the idea of the meta-image: an image within another, within another—the flowers, the landscape, the canvas itself—underscoring the construction of what is represented and its relationship with the medium. The work proposes an active, unhurried, and non-linear contemplation, close to the very process of its creation. It invites reflection on how images are constructed and consumed, and on the beauty of taking the time to look. But, above all, it opens a space for enjoyment and encounter through art. Cheers!

Artist
Pablo Álvarez
After studying Fine Arts and Interior Design at Antonio de Nebrija University, where he graduated in 2018, he continued his education with a Master's in Research in Art and Creation (2024), consolidating a career that combines artistic practice and theoretical reflection. Since the beginning of his career, he has sought experiences that broaden his perspective, participating in international projects such as ¿Cómo enseñar y hacer fotografía? (How to teach and make photography?) in Piura, Peru (2020) and a documentary photography program in rural areas with Erasmus+ in Dilijan, Armenia (2019). These experiences marked a line of work attentive to social issues and modes of representation in diverse contexts. His work has been presented in various solo and group exhibitions in Spain, and has received recognition from institutions and competitions. In 2024, he exhibited his work at Galería My Name’s Lolita (Madrid), and in previous years participated in shows such as the Pozuelo de Alarcón Painting Competition (where he won third prize in 2023), the Moncloa Cultural Center (Madrid, 2022), and the LXXVII Centelles Painting Competition (Barcelona, 2019). In Logroño, he was awarded third prize in the XXXIV Young Art Showcase La Rioja (2018), and in Segovia, he was part of a group exhibition and an artistic residency at AP Gallery (2017). His artistic practice is characterized by an interest in the intersection of image, memory, and territory, exploring through painting and photography ways of inhabiting, narrating, and reinterpreting contemporary experience. With a career that spans from international projects to national competition awards, he continues to develop work that dialogues between aesthetic research and the cultural transformations of our time.
