ALVAREX IS THE MAIN PSEUDONYM OF ALEJANDRO ALVAREZ, FREELANCE ARTIST BORN IN CORDOBA, ARGENTINA, IN 1976.

SINCE HIS STUDENT TIMES IN BAHIA BLANCA, HE DEVELOPED MANY DIFFERENT STYLES, INSTEAD OF JUST FOCUSING ON A SINGLE ONE, BEING CALIFICATED BY HIS TEACHERS AS ECLECTIC AND CHAMELEONIC.

FROM HIS STUDENT TIMES (1992) AS A 16 YEAR OLD, HE FOCUSED ON BLACK AND WHITE COMICS, PENCIL AND INKS WITH MODULATED BRUSH LINE, BIG BLACK MASSES, AND LOT OF DETAILS AND VISUAL TEXTURES.

BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL ARTIST IN 2002, HE STARTED TO WORK FOR THE ITALIAN, AMERICAN AND CANADIAN MARKETS, AS WELL AS FOR IMPORTANT WEBSITES FROM SPAIN AND THE NETHERLANDS.

WORKING IN THE DIGITAL WORLD, HE CHANGED HIS STYLE TO THE OPPOSITE: UNMODULATED LINES CLOSE TO ANIMATION STYLE, APPLIED TO COMICS. PRACTICALLY NO BLACK SHADOWS AND NO TEXTURES, BECAUSE ALL OF HIS ARTWORK WAS DESTINED TO BE COLORED BY OTHERS.

IN NOVEMBER 2012 ALVAREX EMIGRATED DEFINITIVELY FROM ARGENTINA, LIVING AND WORKING

IN MANY DIFFERENT CITIES, SUCH AS MONTEVIDEO (URUGUAY), DOUGLAS (ISLE OF MANN,  UNITED KINGDOM) , LIMA (PERU), MILAN (ITALY) SEATTLE, KNOXVILLE, SHERMAN OAKS (USA) AND  BURLINGTON (CANADA), AMONGST OTHERS.

SINCE 2017, ALVAREX INCORPORATED NEW EXPERIMENTAL SKILLS, BLENDING TRADITIONAL AND DIGITAL STYLES, WITH DIGITAL CARVING, MATTE PAINTING AND TRADITIONAL WATERCOLORS, PLUS NEW TEXTURES, DRAWN BY HAND MIXED WITH DIGITAL BRUSHES.

SINCE 2018, HE DISCOVERED THE POLKA TRASH DOT TATTOO STYLE, HE IS FEELING REALLY GOOD WORKING FOR COMMISSIONS.

SINCE 2021, HE ALSO STARTED TO PRODUCE NFT ARTWORK.
