Albert Alvarez is an artist from San Antonio, TX with 20 years experience painting portraits and landscapes in a surreal and mystical style. Alvarez is influenced by Theravada Buddhism and applies the wisdom of these teachings to his paintings. To do so, Alvarez has to study these teachings and synthesize them into his Texas, Tejano, and contemporary American culture and into pictures that viewers can connect with.
Statement
"My pictures are teachings about the five material and mental factors that take part in the perpetual process of craving, clinging and aversion due to ignorance or misconceptions about the nature of metaphysical reality that keeps a being in the process of dependent origination."
