Luis Alvarez Roure

Luis Álvarez Roure (born 1976) is a Puerto Rican realist painter based in New Jersey. He is known for his portrait, figure, and still-life paintings, including portraits of prominent figures in music, the arts, government, and academia. His subjects have included composer Philip Glass, violinist Joshua Bell, former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker, actor and director José Ferrer, percussionist Cándido Camero, Monsignor William Linder, composer Octavio Vázquez and former Governor of Puerto Rico Pedro Pierluisi.

His strengths have been described as "his draftsmanship (...) taken directly from the paintings of past masters" and "the empathy he so evidently feels with his sitters" by Peter Trippi, editor-in-chief of Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine.
