Francisco Alvarado

My work reflects life experiences through varying degrees of abstraction.

My inspiration comes from nature and my travels in South America. Using bold colors and patterns I am constantly exploring new territory

I am interested in the creative process and shaping raw materials into expressive statements. I utilize both technology and hands-on manipulation of acrylic paint, mixed media and digital imaging to create my work.

Born and raised in Quito, Ecuador, my memories of life in that country merge with my life here, in Southern California. I am members of the Silver Lake Artist Community (SLAC)
