Alvaro Luna

Alvaro Luna is a Peruvian-born, New York-based visual artist who primarily works with watercolor, drawing, and mixed media, deeply informed by his MFA from the New York Academy of Art and years in traditional and digital media. His style balances contemporary figurative realism with expressive, unpredictable washes and marks, often embracing the play between control and spontaneity. Through evocative depictions of the human figure—imbued with themes of intimacy, desire, vulnerability, and transformation—he invites viewers into spaces of memory, sensuality, and emotional resonance.
