Alvar is known for his technical expertise. He is passionate about his concept of el oficio, the commitment to his vocation and appreciation for the traditional artistic values bequeathed by the masters. Renaissance artists, especially Piero della Francesca, Vermeer and Balthus, are particularly admired by him. He views his work as an inheritance from and devotion to Catalonia, specifically Romanesque art, yet imbued with a modern sensibility. His themes, though varied, remain steadfast in their revelations about the human condition and complexities, about love and peace. Time is a prominent and recurring theme, referencing history and art history. Alvar Sunol (1935- ) also known as Alvar, is a Spanish painter, sculptor and lithographer. He is one of the few remaining living Modernist artists. At age 18, he won the Young Painter's Prize in a competition sponsored by the city of Barcelona and his painting was acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona for its permanent collection. In 1957, he had his first solo exhibition in the Galleries Layetana in Barcelona. In 1959, after serving in the Spanish Military, Alvar won a scholarship to the Institut Francais in Paris. In Paris in the 1960s, he showed with other prestigious Spanish artists including Miro, Dali, and Picasso. In 1962, the Monede Gallery in New York showed Alvar's work in his first exhibition in the United States. Alvar's works have been on display in over 40 museums (exhibitions and permanent collections) and over 95 galleries and museums throughout the United States, Europe and Japan.
