Alvar Sunol Munoz-Ramos, commonly known as Alvar, was born in 1935 in Montgat, a Catalan fishing village on the Mediterranean coast near Barcelona. In the 1960's he moved to Paris and exhibited with other major Catalan artists including Picasso, Miro, and Dali.

Today, Alvar is recognized on an international platform for his ability to convey the complex nature of human existence and the psychological complexities of art-making and creation. Alvar's works can be found in the permanent collection of over fourteen museums worldwide.

Most recently, Alvar was honored with a retrospective at the Cultural Center of Girona, Catalonia, Spain which celebrated fifty years of artistic production by Alvar. Alvar's influence and the innovation of his artistic presence in the Catalonian and contemporary context is a major accomplishment.
