ARLETTE ALVAREZ

When working on any form of artwork whether it is traditional or digital, I focus on creating directly what comes from my mind onto the canvas. There’s no hesitation or pre planning when working on a new piece of art. I jump right into it to get to what I deem as the “finished” stage. Once it reaches such a state I will never come back to it. Once it is done it is done for good. My art isn’t something that takes much pre-sketching or pre-planning before getting actually down into work. To me that is a waste of time. It is better to simply jump right into it and see where you end up.

Usually people look at art and see things they have witnessed in the real world, I love to do the opposite. To create realms or even people that wont ever exist only in the imagination. What I want my art to do mainly is to perk an interest in people’s minds-to in a way open them to see there is no limit of what can be made.

The materials I am known for using are paints and wood burning creations. While working in traditional media I enjoy the challenge of generating a random theme to base a creation from. As for digital its the complete opposite, I enjoy drawing colorful creations. The ability to see the creation in different color tones is always exciting.

Many people have asked me as I grew up what artists influenced my way of drawing. It surprises them that I tell them that I am more inspired by cartoons than the fine arts. If anything where my thirst for art sparked was when a friend of mine introduced me to anime. From there it is where I began learning on my own. My art is important because it shows that a person should not be stuck with a “brand” that defines them. Taking this in can really be relevant to today’s time to show a new form of a generation made of multimedia arts. The artists who have many mediums under their belt.
