PABLO ÁLVAREZ CUESTA

(b. 1994, Madrid, Spain)

After studying Fine Arts and Interior Design at Universidad Antonio de Nebrija, where he graduated in 2018, he went on to complete a Master’s in Research in Art and Creation (2024), consolidating a trajectory that combines artistic practice with theoretical inquiry.

From the outset of his career, he has sought experiences that broaden his perspective, taking part in international projects such as ¿Cómo enseñar y hacer fotografía? in Piura, Peru (2020), and a documentary photography program in rural areas with Erasmus+ in Dilijan, Armenia (2019). These experiences set the course for a practice attentive to the social sphere and to modes of representation across diverse contexts.

His work has been presented in both solo and group exhibitions in Spain, and has received recognition from institutions and juried competitions. In 2024 he showed his work at My Name’s Lolita Gallery (Madrid); in previous years he participated in exhibitions such as the Pozuelo de Alarcón Painting Competition (Third Prize, 2023), Centro Cultural Moncloa (Madrid, 2022), and the LXXVII Concurs de Pintura Centelles (Barcelona, 2019). In Logroño, he received Third Prize at the XXXIV Muestra Arte Joven La Rioja (2018), and in Segovia he took part in a group exhibition and artist residency at AP Gallery (2017).

His artistic practice is defined by an interest in the intersection of image, memory, and territory, exploring—through painting and photography—ways of inhabiting, narrating, and reinterpreting contemporary experience. With a trajectory that spans international projects and recognition in national competitions, he continues to develop a body of work positioned at the crossroads of aesthetic research and the cultural transformations of our time.
