From Old to Bold the Queens Chronicle 

Picture
"The pieces start out as junk — nearly anything flat and flexible will do — that he collects from bins and end-of-the-roll throwaway spots.
Once home, Bergés Alvarez crumples and folds the material into endless forms and arranges them with other crunched-up stuff in a deep trough. From there, he starts to take photographs — scores and scores of photographs — of the detritus still-life he’s made. Rearrange the stuff, take more pictures.
“I may take 50 to 100 photos of each arrangement,” he says. “From that, I may find one I like.”
The photo then goes through enhancing filters and softening touches on his computer. Once he has something to work with, he sends the image off to an online photo printing company in California, where it is turned into a canvas and sent back. From there, he will use pens, pencils or paint on the canvas to add the desired effects and final touches.
Each canvas is one of a kind, he says, despite starting out as a photo."

"Berges Alvarez has cultivated and ventured into a new style of special techniques and is the first of its kind in working with experimental methods of photography as an art medium. He creates alluring realistic land and seascapes out of the frayed and torn edges of man made recycled materials."  William Ris Gallery

IMAGES BERGÉS ALVAREZ

New York-based artist, Bergés Alvarez, has married together two unexpected worlds – radiography and art – to create captivating and intriguing images that open up a part of the human existence often left sheltered and hidden from view. In his X-ray artwork, the inside of our bodies provide a thought-provoking space for debate on modern society.

Art is individual and corporeal...
it is color and consistency, it must be seen and sensed 
both physically, emotionally and intellectually.  
Art needs to be talked about, pondered and experienced.
