Solari moved to Montevideo in 1934 to study at the Circulo de Bellas Artes with Professor William Laborde between 1934 and 1937.

He pursued his particular interest in etching in 1952 during a three-month course at the l'Ecole Superieure des Beaux Arts in Paris with Professor Eduard GOERGEN.

Solari has exhibited at the Biennial of Graphic Arts in Santiago de Chile, Buenos Aires, Cali, San Juan, Florence, Kraków, Ljubljana, Frechen, Leipzig, Vienna, Norway, Finland, Bradford, Biella, Segovia and Japan.

His most notable works, including mezzotint and acrylic paintings, are of human figures with anthropomorphic animal masks.

In 1989 the Museo Luis Alberto Solari opened in the city of Fray Bentos, Uruguay, showing his works and promoting fine arts in the region.
