bio

Juan Alvear was born in New York City and currently lives and works between LA & NYC. He graduated from Cooper Union with a degree in fine art. Alvear is an interdisciplinary artist who straddles the adjacent and often separate realms of fine art, design, and beauty by crafting otherworldly, wearable adornments and sculptural objects. His work, including his instantly recognizable nail art, implies an ancient origin while appearing from an alternate reality.

He has recently been featured in the Vogue World 100, Paper Magazine 100, and numerous other publications.
