My artist name is Svhaine Alvarez. It reflects my Swedish and Spanish roots, and it carries a Hainénergie : a cold, burning anger.

Hainénergie is a play on words drawn from my language and the country I come from — France, where the word "haine" (hate) is spelled out in full. It's the fuel that feeds the forge.

My work revolves around war, memory, and violence turned into matter. I work with little plastic soldiers — the toys we handled without thinking, as kids. We played at war without understanding its weight.

One day I asked myself: what happens if we look at these toys differently? What if, instead of playing with them, we assembled them to reveal what they really stand for?

So I started creating. Out of these figurines I build sculptures of weapons — shapes that are powerful and fragile at once. Every piece asks a question: why do we manufacture objects of war for children? At what point does violence start becoming ordinary?

My process is slow. I glue, I assemble, I give meaning to every detail. These are not just artworks. They are signals — silent reflections.

Through my sculptures I want to make people think: what if war started far earlier than we believe? In our games? In our imagination?

Art isn't here to reassure. It's here to wake you up.
