Artist Statement:
An approach at the life of a
painter
in a flight of colors
TEXT:

It is possible to say that the
memory of a plastic artist
resembles –because of gathered
recollections- to an
airplane’s black box, which
has always been bright orange,
like is known, to distinctly
guarantee the findings of
unfortunate flights. The idea
of eviscerating the mysteries
of the painter and sculptor
Alvaro Daza, flew off one
December afternoon of the year
2002 at the first sights of
summer in Panama.
Days before, we had talked
sporadically in different
occasions, but that afternoon,
from the tenth floor of his
apartment, maestro Daza talked
again about colors, besides
carrying them well in the
vaporous silk of his shirt
with red and blue round
stamps, repainted with ocher
and perhaps purple spots, and
with the crude attraction of
the main wall in the living
room. Hanging on the wall,
there were three oil paintings
with the physiognomy of deep
woods, and one or another
frame on a furniture, resting
on the floor, or held on a
corner. It was without a
doubt, the irresistible
surroundings of a paintbrush
and spatula juggler, ...

| Your Personal Biography |
In the past, the Greek warriors executed the most incredible deeds , saving towns, killing monsters, rescuing maidens, all under one purpose: to reach and enjoy immortality, and ability far from despicable for any warrior or artist.
If Achilles earned his by being the creation of his inventor, then so did Homer by keeping account of his time. Therefore, following this analogy, Alvaro Daza is an artist of his time, earning great recognition not only for his work, but also because he is his greatest promoter, appropriating an unmistakable style that allows anyone who sees his work to assert that the magic inventions are no one else´s but Daza´s master pieces.
His work are explosions of color that seems to emerge from the landscape that he also paints, colors that grow and mature like his trees, which hide beneath their bushes and abstracts , the fruits of a masterly expressionism.
Therefore, our friend, “ the one of the light feet “ could comfortably enjoy his immortality in any of his paintings, without anyone ever finding his Achilles heel.
