ÁLVAREZ<br />

“Me acerco a las cosas y materiales que me atraen, las identifico y las<br />

observo, y dejo que me digan qué hacer con ellas”.<br />

La obra de Negra Álvarez es a una de las voces más singulares<br />

de la escultura de El Salvador, a través de un lenguaje basado en<br />

la búsqueda y el encuentro de materiales y objetos que crean<br />

piezas tridimensionales que transitan en las invisibles fronteras de la<br />

escultura, el arte objeto y la instalación.<br />

Su obra es orgánica y vital: la creación, la maternidad y el parto. “Ese<br />

universo femenino soy yo, no busco temas ajenos, expreso lo que<br />

me impacta o cuestiona”, dice la artista.<br />

Estudió en la Academia de Bellas Artes de Lovaina, Bélgica y es<br />

fundadora de la Asociación de Artistas Plásticos de El Salvador.<br />

“I approach things and materials that attract me, I identify and<br />

observe them, and then I let them say to me what to do with them.”<br />

Negra Alvarez’s work is one of the most unique voices coming from<br />

the sculptural space of El Salvador. Through a language based on the<br />

search and the finding of materials and objects that create threedimensional<br />

pieces which cross the invisible boundaries of sculpture,<br />

object art, and installation.<br />

Her work is organic and vital: the creation, motherhood and childbirth.<br />

“That female universe is me, I do not look for issues belonging to<br />

others, I express what strikes or questions me,” says the artist.<br />

She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Louvain, Belgium and<br />

she is founder of the Association of Artists of El Salvador.<br />
