Self-taught, from a young age he became known as an- he started as  illustrator at age 15 and worked for various book and magazine publishers , he achieved A huge success in the illustrations field and became well known in many countries in whole europe in young age, especially, in Great Britain with a series of romantic comics and the timeless war stories. At the time that Britain, one of the followers of the Delta 99 and Gringo.Su series it was siguien- you step illustration of coloredof covers and interiors for books and magazines that were published in Great Britain and Scandinavia. This made him master his drawing technique and the use of materials for color; tempera, oil and pastel, where he has achieved a great technique. 

At age 32 , Domingo began to think very seriously to change his paintings genre , so he gave up his illustration work and began to practice in the field of gallery painting on the development of pastel and the technique of oil. He attends the natural classes of the Artistic Circle of Sant Lluc, perfects his innate pictorial ability and in 1975 begins his new and definitive stage as a painter.
The elegant sensuality that emanates from the female figures in the works of Domingo Álvarez is due to the intense effect of light, intimate and warm, which allows the serene contemplation of this composition, where the uniqueness of the figure stands out, surrounded by a faint chromatic effect, and the application of a small and meticulous brushstroke. In his drawings and paintings, intimate and with soft nuances, they credit his work as an expert exerciser of academic traditions, endowing his works with a calm and romantic beauty, filling the observing eye with lyricism.
His first exhibition at the Almirall Gallery in Barcelona was a great success and that convinced him to continue down this path with new exhibitions at the Vell i Nou, Mollori galleries, etc. During all these years he has held a large number of exhibitions all over the world and has become one of the best known and most popular pastel artists in the field of female painting. However, Domingo's work is varied, in terms of different techniques, because he dominates both oil paintings and drawings with sanguine and pastel. His fine perception of the Mediterranean light and his sensitivity and delicacy make his works relaxed and endowed with great beauty.
The female figure, both in oil and in red or pastel drawings, is Domingo's favorite subject, and he finds in it a constant or renewed mystery that he needs to express himself as an explorer of ideas and forms. . His interest is moved both by the thought that he would like to make his own and by the harmony of its composition. He knows that it is much easier to get to form the structure of a body than to balance the ideas that are coming as if they were waves. Possibly for this reason it is intimate and pursues, although it represents the woman in the open air and in front of the immensity of the sea, to find the confidence and the secret hiding place that is always whispered in the ear. Its formal perfection is like a kind of place for admiration for the female figure to lead to the beauty of thought.
In his considerable and significant itinerary as a recognized creator of forms and concepts, he maintained, and has been maintaining, a singular vision of the world; a personal capture of the essential in a cultural, thematic environment, sensibly intense and clear. In his extensive work, in fact, a wide space of psychological and, of course, sociological availability is inferred. It is, undoubtedly, a spirit that generates forms, secret charm and an objective content that has known and knows how to connect with a global sensibility that is important to refer to and take into account, and whose real projection is, on an existential and daily level, deeply convincing and impressive. The realistic language that Domingo gives to the imageIt is excellent, as well as the color that it gives off and explains in its painting. His different audiences, in an extensive cosmopolitan sphere, unanimously respond to his proposal, since it is open and warm.
In addition to the female figures, Domingo has worked on landscapes (especially urban) port scenes (boats anchored in the port or fishermen delivered in their daily tasks) and even still lifes, using as a pictorial technique, both for port scenes and for the still lifes, fundamentally, the oil with looser brushstrokes and without adhering as much to the figurative outline as it does, and in a masterful way, for the representations of young people in pastel or sanguine.
An oil painting that should be highlighted is the one entitled: "Child on the beach" in which a clear influence of the Valencian painter Joaquín Sorolla is appreciated, in terms of the dominance of the light reflected in the water of the Mediterranean Sea as in the chromatic nuances of the naked child lying on the shore and partially covered by the water. This work has a certain similarity to the oil on canvas that Sorolla painted in 1910, entitled: " Niños on the beach "; it seems that Domingo took the last of the three children painted by the masterful Valencian painter to enjoy the uneven vibrations of light on the water and also on the naked child lying on the seashore. In both Sorolla's and Domingo's work, the strong light of the midday sun is reflected on the child's body, an intensified reflection with touches of white that dot the bronzed flesh of the child. The water is drawn. with large blue and purple brushstrokes forming sinuous spots of color, giving the sensation of tide and movement.
Turned into a complete professional, his jobs are required throughout Europe, Japan and the United States , where he worked for a time for the Skywald magazines: Psycho, Nightmare and Scream. Domingo Álvarez is considered, by specialized critics , the greatest exponent of pastel technique in Spain . The mastery of technique and the beauty of his works (especially the female figures and urban landscapes) make this magnificent Catalan artist the best known in this difficult technique at an international level, whose work can be found in private collections all over the world: Cuba , Argentina, United States, Sweden, Italy, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, as well as Spain.
Domingo Álvarez continues to work on his study in Cubelles, a municipality of about 12,000 inhabitants, the last coastal town in the province of Barcelona and the Garraf region to the south. He is married and he has two children. Of the more than 200 exhibitions that he has made, all over the world, I will highlight the most significant of this prolific Catalan painter.
