Gabriel Alvarez

The colours of his native Mexico, as well as personal experiences and subconscious thoughts influence Gabriel Alvarez.
During these past few years Gabriel has been on a personal and creative journey that has led him to his current expressive artwork. Styles of several painters such as Tamayo, Appel, and Kokoschka have subconsciously influenced his paintings. However, on occasions their influence is truly conscious for Gabriel and is obvious to the spectator as he playfully mixes and weaves their unique styles, to create something fresh and modern.

Born and raised in Mexico City, Gabriel became a painter at an early age. He trained with the distinguished Mexican artist Castro Pacheco in Mexico City and went on to showcase his vibrant and emotive paintings for the first time at the Diffusion Cultural at the Autonomous University of Mexico. He subsequently moved to London to become a Plastic Surgeon where he has now lived and worked for almost 40 years. Gabriel has a busy private practice in both Hertfordshire and London and has a part time appointment in University College Hospital. Gabriel insists he is an artist and not only a doctor that paints.
