Ernesto Alva (1982) is a mexican visual artist focused on graphics, drawing, engraving and printmaking, he studied Plastic Arts at "La Esmeralda" in Mexico city (2002-2007) and has been part of several workshops and the creation of "La Trampa", a production workshop of contemporary graphics. With a energetic production of his work, he has conceived a certain precision and detail in his facture and technic, he explores the forms of lines, the creation of ideas and textures within abstract landscapes conceived almost randomly, his works on pvc foam boards are playful installations of light and shadows within high-bas reliefs that takes different interpretations and textures depending on the light source. It's a mutable work directly affected by it's environment, a bridge between macro and micro. It would be great to take out his work from a museal context and be able to rotate it, lift it, re position it, and relight it to fully comprehend and appreciate it's forms and tones. I recently watch his work in a collective exhibition at Mexico City's Modern Art Museum, and I was kind of refreshed of seeing a young proposal in such place, If I could take a piece to keep from that show I would definitely choose one of him. He's an artist to watch in the upcoming years. You can watch his work here, under "obra".
