Alvaro Mendoza, Realism

Alvaro Mendoza Garcia was born February 3, 1952. He is basically self-taught, though he has taken art studies with the master, Jose Samano and is an alumnus of El Taller de Grafica Popular (1997). Since 1971, he has exhibited extensively in Mexico in banks, private collections, universities, hotels, salons, cultural centers, and private collections. Solo exhibitions include the Palacio Municipal in Chiapas, Galeria Art Colonial, and Lago de Siraguen. His work reflects the subtleties of light and shadow, the wonder of architecture at its simplest, the beauty of a balcony imbued by the magic of sunlight.
