This large-scale unframed acrylic on canvas work captures Alvarez’s signature energy and movement through sweeping diagonal forms, layered textures, and bold, contrasting colors—deep crimsons, cobalt blues, earthy ochres, and sharp whites—all emerging from a soft gradient gray background. A fine example of late 20th-century Latin American abstraction, the piece is signed and dated by the artist on the lower right corner and again inscribed on the back with dimensions: 48” x 72”. Ready to hang and ideal for collectors of geometric and lyrical abstraction.

ELBA ALVAREZ

Elba Alvarez was born in Pedernales, Venezuela in 1944. At the age of 18, she went to Europe and studied in Paris. She came to the United States in 1968 carrying the ideas and visions which would fill her canvases with bold, striking colors. The paintings that Alvarez created caused gallery after gallery to lavish high praise for her innovative and provocative abstracts. She was encouraged to set up a studio in New York City. Through years of study and experimentation her talents have evolved into a highly unique and engrossing style of painting.
