Ivo
Alvarone is an Italian abstract landscape painter, colorist, and poet, creating
mostly acrylic and mixed media watercolors and drawings in small format. At
first, he studied Art History but gave up after a year feeling too confined,
deciding instead to travel extensively through Europe, sketching landscape,
painting watercolors. He resumed his studies, this time with a focus on
painting. Alvarone’s preferred subject is nature, while his creative process is
driven by personal experiences and altered states of consciousness. The artist
takes his viewers into his world of nature, using a unique technique that
consists of a subtle and slowly deepening mixture of overlapping forms that
convey his sensitivity. He works in series by discovering and applying new
pictorial techniques and going beyond conventions. A very private individual,
Ivo Alvarone lives and works in a small studio, trying to stay away from
crowded exhibitions. Instead, he prefers a smaller audience that is willing to
follow his works and experiments with true interest.
