Júlio Alves

"My work is deeply linked with the world around me. Everything I do is inspired in lived experience, places I see, booksI read, people I met, all that are buildings blooks of the constructions I made, I see them as special models of tension, a "momento" that yelds the power of tranformation."

Julio Alves has produced a diverse body of work that includes painting, drawing, installation and sculpture. With his studio based in Estoril, in the portuguese atlantic coast, he has developed his activity for nearly three decades and has carried out several solo and group exhibitions.
With an academic background in architecture, subsequently studied painting at the Society of Fine Arts of Lisbon and in recent years has been devoted entirely to painting.
It was during the last decade that he continually has developed the theme of the landscape that is still the core of his work.

Graduated in architecture at the Faculdade de Arquitectura de Lisboa and studied art at the Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes de Lisboa.
