JORDI ALVAREZ ART

NOTE FROM THE ARTIST
Born in Italy and shaped by travels across Europe. USA, Australia, the UK, South America and Asia, I am a self-taught artist whose practice is rooted in movement, memory and instinctive self-expression.
My works incorporate materials gathered along the way, from rice paper sourced in China’s Yunnan region to handmade inks combining oils with natural elements. These materials carry traces of place, becoming part of an evolving visual language shaped by experience and intuition.
Painting began privately, as an escape rather than a profession. After a decade in the luxury industry, consumed by the mechanics of performance and materialism, I began to feel more like an algorithm than a person. I had to be born again.
Without formal training, I improvise and experiment freely, mixing scrap cardboard, wood, plastic, old wallpaper, traditional sketching and digital tools. This freedom allows curiosity and instinct to guide my practice, making art a way of returning to myself.
