Serafín Álvarez is an artist, researcher and educator. His work entails collecting images, organise them, relate them to one another, ruminate them: imagining other worlds using them as a starting point, building those worlds and contemplating them. These processes are usually motivated by a keen interest on how we relate to the unknown, how we study it and how we represent it.
