La Maison Saint Gabriel 4 (2014) Painting by David Alvarado Mora

David Alvarado was born in Costa Rica 27-10-1958. He studies painting in the Faculty of Fine Arts of Universidad de Costa Rica whereas, in Montreal, he studies Fashion Design. He is also in Montreal where he started developing his talent for painting. Later, in the renowned ITHQ he obtains a Certificate in French Cuisine.

Alvarado places the woman as a central element in his work. Her majestic beauty, the fascinating tenderness, the legionary strength, the unfathomable complexity, the abyssal depth of her heart; are all traits that fascinate the artist and touch his soul. Such admiration strikes the viewer at first glance and it is the life of the painter that passes before his/her eyes. These women whom he knew, he felt, he has imagined, he has dreamed out, come out his work to bring faith to those who contemplate them.

Recently, themes such as the fragility of life, reproduction and the deep desire for sustainability of the human species are addressed in his work; Alvarado managed - with a sensitivity rarely seen - to combine the subjects with high philosophical aspects with concerns as current as the protection of our environment of our extraordinary planet.
Spirituality permeates the artistic process of Alvarado. The search for God in thyself, the search for thyself through God, but above all, the wonders of The Creation, before humanity in front of others, in front of thyself is so intense, so vibrant, so smooth that pierced by harmony and light , the viewer barely turns to look and move away.

Alvarado places the Woman at the heart of his works. Her majestic beauty, her fascinating tenderness, her legionary strength, her unfathomable complexity, the abyssal depth of her heart are all traits that fascinate the artist, that touch her soul. Such admiration strikes the viewer at first glance and it is the painter's life that passes before his eyes. These women, whom he knew, whom he felt, whom he imagined, whom he dreamed of, come out of the work and come in their turn to restore the faith of those who contemplate them.
Other, more recent themes, such as the fragility of life, reproduction and the deep desire for the sustainability of the human species are addressed in his work. The painter Alvarado succeeds with a sensitivity rarely seen in combining these major philosophical subjects with current concerns such as the protection of our environment and our extraordinary planet.
Spirituality permeates Alvarado's artistic approach. The search for God through oneself, the search for oneself through God, but above all, the wonder before creation, before the Creator, before man...
