- Edition Octobre 2011

A brazilian plastic artist, working with collage since 1989.
Silvio Alvarez believes that the most important raw material in his work - even more important than paper - is patience. He cuts out images from magazines or publicity leaflets, one by one, to create a world that is wholly his own, magic and surreal.
The artist seeks to combine art and sustainability and gives us a cheerful picture of everyday life in the big city, without, however, failing to provide a critical analysis of society.
In, 2009, during the environment week, gave a important step in his professional carrier when made a panel with the title "The tree" ( collage on MDF - 250 x 350cm ) for the Sustainability Museum collection, in São Paulo, Brazil .
