San Antonio Artist Albert Alvarez Captures

What He Sees on the Streets


 

Visual art has a lot of power. Sight is your most important sense. It’s how you learn and get most of your knowledge-base from. Art has the power to change.


Girl Molested by a Mob
 
Gang Life


I think portraying hardcore expression is crucial to experiencing, understanding life. There are a lot of artists doing this all over the world, I'm sure. San Antonio is my calling; it’s my visual cannon — my pathology.


 
Party Girls


I attended the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design, got a BFA in Film, Animation, Video, with a concentration in 2D hand-drawn and digital animation, which was an eye opening experience…Currently, my art process is Start to Finish. I have to see what I'm going to draw in my mind first, and then try to trace it on the paper. It’s an ancient Chinese master technique.

 


 
Left 4 Dead



I know my art is vulgar, but I practice a lot, and have a systematic discipline over my art…Most importantly, for me, though, are the philosophical reasons for pursuing art…We live in a highly censored world. That’s not good. That’s a form of social control. Mainstream [is often] used for propagating ignorance and dumbing down society. How could people lend their talents to that? That’s why art is important.
