Nail art takes a new form for Juan Alvear, who's created fantastic talons for everyone from Bjork to LilNasX.
. The common thread tying together his clients: a commitment to the innovative, the unexpected, and sometimes, the weird.Nails by Juan
. A graduate of Cooper Union, Alvear began experimenting with nail art in his junior year, drawing from his painting and sculpture background to develop his otherworldly creations. “To be honest I don’t really separate the nails I make from the art I make. They are all an extension of me and the nails function almost like a series in a larger body of work. Without my sculpture and painting background, the nails would look drastically different or probably wouldn’t exist,” he says.
I can’t help but be attracted to shapes that look juicy. I can’t say there’s one place I look to for color inspiration but I know it when I see it. I don’t necessarily search for color schemes but rather remember them, take a photo of them, or bookmark them when I do come across one that I like IRL, or online.
I see the nails as extensions of my art practice, I’m drawn to specific shapes, colors and textures. Making a nail is oftentimes just like making a painting. In addition to making nails I’m currently working towards my first solo art show and have been painting almost every day. I see a huge relationship formally between my paintings and my nails and they definitely inspire/inform one another. I see colors and textures and put them together to create something.
