Alvaro Sotomayor’s creativity affects different aspects in his world, After finishing the art academy he started working at advertising agencies and is nowadays creative director and mentor, but he has also always expressed himself creating art. His creative and artistic talents come actually even more life in his art, which often has a side of activism to it. With his art Alvaro wants to make the world aware of the problems he feels strongly about. For instance one of his art projects reacts to the mass migration happening in Europe from war torn countries.  His art series called Toro will be on exhibition at Kunst Kan from September 3 – September 25 and is a response to and protest against bullfights.
