Putting a spin on a classic is what Dan Alva does best. Born in 1984, the Miami native comes from a Spanish background of fine artists. He spent his childhood working alongside his fatherin the family garage and largely credits his craft to him.

Contemporary artist Dan Alva takes the classics and reinvents for a modern day audience. He re-masters the masters if you will, and undoubtedly, it’s alluring work. His bold and unapologetic pieces stand proud, they’re incredibly intricate, they’re meticulous and he combines his figurative visual language with bursts of camouflage and stripes, taking in a contemporary direction. And excitingly, his latest body of work, entitled The Outsourced Series will be on show at CONTEXT Art Miami with the Oliver Cole Gallery this year. We talk to the artist to find out what we can expect from CONTEXT 2019.
