Luisa Alvarez

Light Artist from Madrid, Spain.
I have long experience in the field of Architectural Lighting Design, both as a consultant to architectural lighting and working in my own Studio.
In 2008 I decided to conquer urban spaces with light in a way different from the usual illumination work co-creating the collective Luzinterruptus. The main intent was to create experiences that surprise passers-by and create a new atmosphere by changing an existing environment with light.
In 2010 i start in a different way creating the project Travesias de Luz.
Since 2007 I have also published a blog (), a virtual space dedicated to everything I find of interest to do in relation to light, including but not limited to lighting technology, design and art.
In 2007 I wrote a paper on Temporary Urban Light Installations for ETSAM (Architectural University of Madrid)
In 2010 I was awarded a LAMP Lighting Solutions award in the Urban and Landscape Lighting category for the installations “Verde” and “Injertos Lumínicos Verdes” in Barcelona and Madrid
