A Oure Latin Style

A Pure Latin Style

Alvaro Sanchez writes “I was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I studied design, music and architecture.
Since leaving Argentina I have lived in almost every country in Latin America until 1990 when I moved with my familyto Saltspring Island, British Columbia.


As a self-taught silversmith I have gathered influences, techniques and inspiration from the ancient and contemporary art of the many cultures I have been immersed in.
My artistic style has an urban Latin flavour. Using precious metals and natural gems. I try to create fine jewellery that is stylish and very comfortable to wear. I particullary enjoy working with silver and semi precious stones.
In my spare time I play soccer and the Latin American guitar”. You can see more of Alvaros’ fabulous and stylish work at www.sidestreetstudio.com
