ABOUT THE ARTIST
Xavier Alvarado, an Afro-Latino Trinidadian artist, has been painting since he was six, inspired by his father to create art that shifts perspectives and creates change. His mixed media works blend philosophy, culture, and identity, celebrating community and connection.
From his Austin FC Match Day Posters to collaborations with Louis Vuitton, Xavier’s art doesn’t just speak—it inspires action.
As an avid reader and lifelong learner, Xavier finds a connection between storytelling and his art, both offering ways to explore identity, inspire reflection, and foster community.
