Painting Mahladini by Alvarez Torezano Luis | Painting Figurative Portrait Acrylic

Luis Alvarez Torezano is living in Barcelona but he is from Pontedeume in the province of La Coruña, Spain. As long as he can remember, he grew up with brushes in hand. He produced his first oil painting at the age of 14. His passion for painting has never left him. Painting is his "life partner", which follows him everywhere and continuously enriches his personal life. Luis chose not to make it his trade and professionally was oriented towards architecture, which of course suited his creative personality.
The artist creates poignant portraits, sometimes funny, sometimes intimate, even intimidating. He brilliantly captures the facial expressions of artists, musicians and writers and celebrates the particularity of their genius. His paintings also reflect his passion for Africa and the people, often a multitude of aesthetic and expressive figures. He chooses his models according to what they emit, artistically or visually. The painter must feel a particular connection with the person to paint his portrait.
