I have been painting all my life. In my early years, I did mass production of landscapes, marine views, and routine creations. Being a Patent draftsman, I have to deal with realism and technology, science, engineering, architecture, biology, space, marine construction, and fashion; everything you can imagine and see! The drawings have to be precise to be filed. That is why my art is so personal. It is my imagination! This is a biography in paintings; it is the time and the moment. This is the reason I established a museum, because every item here has a story to tell, very different from what you may think you see in the paintings. This is just one collection. By purchasing one piece, you become part of the other paintings and a sponsor of my work.
Grand Opening of "Surreal Arizona" Gallery April 24 & 25

WHY DO PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW MY ART ?
GREAT QUESTION
Like most immigrants, after many circumstances I was experiencing in my birth country, I chose to start a new life in a new land. That country was the United States.
Art is my life. “I live for art not from art.” Since my arrival, I have dedicated all my potential to sponsoring art and artists in all the creative fields. I promote, encourage, and mentor all of them that never were touched by art, or don’t believe in themselves, or are afraid to show because they are afraid of comments.
I open shows and spaces to display their work regardless of their experience and background, as long as they have the idea and or need to explore creativity. Many became very well known creative people, some found their lives changed, with a lot more to live for, because whoever is involved in art lives a great life. If you have a disastrous place, as soon as you move art in, it becomes enchanted and shines. It is the same with life.
I founded Alvaro Ibañez Museum (AIM), where everyone in the world can visit my personal collection. An international creativity community bringing together painters, poets, dancers, sculptors, photographers, actors, all kind of writers, and their audiences and friends for rest and renewal. We do workshops and seminars as well as displaying and promoting other artists.
I can show my art abroad by invitation.
My work is so personal that I consider it impossible to be judged by any one; this creation has a meaning regardless of techniques or mediums. It is not commercial art. I believe that Art it is different, that is why it is unique. It does not have to be pretty, not even likable; of course, it is obviously greater if it is any of those.
I was born in Bucaramanga, Santander, Colombia on January 18, 1951. At the age of 5, I moved with my parents to Santa Marta beach, a beautiful city were I grow up, at the age of 7 won my first artistic price, a diploma and a 36 Prismacolor set, with a drawing of "El Morro" a light house at the center of the bay.
I have worked as a designer and draftsman since my mid-twenties, specializing in graphic arts, patent design, and trademark illustrations Architecture, Interior Design, all Engineering fields projects.
My biographical profile has been included in “Who’s Who in the World”; “Who’s Who in America”; “Who’s Who in the South and Southwest”; "Who's who in the arts"; Who's Who in Finance and Business" since 1994.
My personal collection of my own original work contains over 900 pieces in media such as pastel, oils, acrylics, watercolor, ink, silk screen, stain glass, markers, crayons, any media available at each moment of creation.
Inspired by my teacher www.davidmanzur.org , DaVinci, Dali, and Van Gogh, I express my love of life and beauty through a broad range of styles, ranging from realism to surrealism. Within my collection are pieces ranging in size from a few inches to many feet, with themes running the gamut of human experience and going beyond into the realm of myth.
One example is “Kalevala” http://www.a-ibanez.org/kalevala.pdf series based on the Finnish creation myth.
I immigrated to the United States in August 29 of 1981, leaving behind a large body of work. My current collection dates from my arrival in Virginia and tells the story of my struggles as a new immigrant supporting a family and learning a new language.
My work tells of my dreams and the sources of my inspiration.
Images of women dominate much of my work; “I love Woman,” beginning with my mother.
I mold my feelings easily on the canvas.” Another group of paintings depicts the powerful, mythical unicorn. This image was the primary inspiration for my dream of building a retreat center for artists and Sunrise Studio Gallery.
