Meet Nilvio Alexander Punguil Bravo, an artist greeting from Ecuador who has been infusing his artwork with the vibrant colors of Latin culture since he was a young child. Despite being self-taught, he skillfully exerts each brush stroke and color on his palette to create stunning pieces inspired by his observations of the world around him.

When he moved to the United States, he faced the challenge of adapting to a new culture without knowing English. However, his art proved to be a powerful tool for communication. Not only did it allow him to express himself, but it also helped him find his place in Madison, Wisconsin.

Since 2010, Alex has been making waves in the Madison art scene with his exhibitions and fundraisers. Even while attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he continues to pursue his passion for art in his free time. His canvases are more than just paintings – they represent a blend of emotions, cultural influences, social justice, and personal identity. His art serves as a bridge that brings people from different backgrounds together, transcending language and racial barriers.

At this event, get ready to experience the essence of “Fuego y Forma” through Alex’s creations. His artwork embodies the intricate forms and fiery passion that define his Latin roots. And do not be surprised if he expresses himself through music on the drums and guitar or his poetic words – art knows no limits for Alex.
