Arturo Alvarez is an artist and designer based in Galicia, a remote region in the northwest corner of Spain. Although most lighting from Spain comes from the east coast of the country (Barcelona or Valencia), Galicia has a tradition and culture of fine artisan craftsmanship.
In 1995, Arturo became fascinated and inspired by genuine Louis Tiffany lamps. He loved the one-of-a-kind, handmade, and artistic characteristics of Tiffany lamps. Arturo’s innovation was to borrow these characteristics and apply them to contemporary forms, using stained glass imported from the USA.
