Luis Álvarez Roure (born 1976)[3] is a Puerto Rican realist painter based in New Jersey.
[7] 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.
He also developed a great interest in music and his father enrolled him in piano lessons.
Roure is a resident of Hasbrouck Heights, N.J.[11] Alvarez Roure's work has been collected by the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C.,[12][13] European Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona,[14] Steinway Hall in New York City, and the Federal Reserve in Washington D.C.
[16] In May 2024, Princeton University unveiled Alvarez Roure's portrait of legendary actor and director José Ferrer, a 1933 graduate.
