Artist Statement Alvaro Arrosamena's concept of art embraces a breathtaking range of disciplines, constantly interacting with one another. Paintings, installations, performances, film and multimedia are the tools he uses to express his own vision of the world, where different aspects of popular cultures, traditions and transgressions are common. He integrates spiritual and socio-political subjects to analyze the problems of identity, social integration, acceptance and assimilation in today's multi-racial western society. Influences and taboos related to mass culture, the subversive, the minorities, subcultures, forbidden spirituality and the occult.
His interdisciplinary activities manifest the interaction of the human body and the spiritual, placed in a spatial temporal context, which is reflective of social, political and cultural, and even personal, religious or psychological issues. This results in a variety of multi-media art with the performance as a motor, creating more complex projects, sometimes as a studio activity or as a public performance.
The implications of the interplay between body and space in their different manifestations, give rise to the production of these "communication processes" where Arrosamena arrives to transmit a kind of sacred occult message and makes us partake of legendary expressions with spiritual and human contexts.
