Julieta Álvarez Macías
Biography:
Julieta Álvarez Macías (b. 1977, Rosario, Argentina) is an artist whose journey seamlessly intertwines architecture, education, and artistic exploration. She began her formal artistic education under the guidance of renowned figures such as Jorge Macchi, Ernesto Ballesteros and Daniel García. In 2002, she earned her degree in Architecture from the National University of Rosario (UNR), later contributed as an assistant professor at Architectural Projects III (UNR) for two years. In 2007 Julieta relocated to the Cayman Islands, where she taught art at the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands and actively participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions. Two years later, she was awarded a scholarship for an artist residency at Kunstenaarslogies in Amersfoort, The Netherlands, an experience that deepened her artistic practice during a three-month stay. Her creative journey continued in Geneva, Switzerland, where she worked at an architecture studio, while dedicating her spare time to produce small-scale drawings. She immersed herself in the vibrant European art scene, frequently visiting international art fairs and exhibitions. In 2017 Julieta returned to Argentina, where she currently lives and works, continuing to refine her artistic voice. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Argentina, Spain, The Cayman Islands and The Netherlands.

Statement:
“Rooted in the expressive power of the four elements -earth, fire, water and air- this series is an exploration of movement, depth, and raw emotion. Through the interplay of acrylics, oils, ink, and graphite, I seek to create atmospheres that invite the viewer to step inside and feel the energy within each piece. The brushstrokes, textures, and fluid transitions mirror the natural forces that shape our world, embodying both chaos and harmony. My work is a testament to the idea that art, like the elements, is in constant motion, ever shifting, alive, and deeply personal”.
