The Art of Ismael Álvarez

Writes Ismael on his official website:

My name is Ismael Álvarez. I was born in Ayamonte, Huelva, Andalusia, Spain. The son of a civil guard and of a gypsy mother, nothing else could come out than a restless ass like me. My mother is perhaps the one who gave me good handling of the pencil, since during pregnancy, while others have a craving for chocolate and the like, she took to drawing. She filled entire notebooks with voluptuous women, with big breasts, huge asses, and sex, a lot of sex.

I studied Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid, the city in which I have lived since I was very little. It is in Madrid where I started working as an illustrator, designer and photographer; going through the world of fashion, television and acting. Now living in Barcelona.

My work can be found in publications such as VOGUE Japan, Rolling Stone Magazine, The Sunday Times, Playboy, GayTimes, etc. I've always liked trying in different fields, that's why it's hard for me to say no to the different offers they offer me, and you can find me in an internationally famous magazine as well as in a photocopied neighborhood fanzine.

I love art, in all its aspects. I adore Gustav Klimt, Warhol and Lichtenstein. I am fascinated by Tom from Finland, he marked my professional and personal life, he is the god of homoerotic art. I adore the world of eroticism, and even pornography.
