My artist name is Svhaine Alvarez .

It reflects my Swedish and Spanish origins, and carries within it a Hainérgie: a cold, burning anger. The word Hainérgie is actually a play on words taken from my language and my country of origin: France, where the word hatred is spelled out in full.

My art revolves around war, memory and violence transformed into matter.

I work with little plastic soldiers, those toys we handled without thinking as kids. We played at war, without understanding their weight.
One day, I asked myself: what would happen if we looked at these toys differently? What if, instead of playing with them, we put them together to reveal what they really represent?

So I started creating. From these figurines, I build sculptures—weapons, forms that are both powerful and fragile. Each work asks a question: Why are war objects made for children? At what point does the trivialization of violence begin?

My process is slow, almost meditative. I glue, I assemble, I give meaning to every detail. These are not just works of art. They are signals, silent reflections.

On social media, I share my creations and the reactions they provoke. Some see them as criticism, others as glorification. I don't give an answer. What matters to me is that they provoke something.

Through my sculptures, I want to make people think: what if the war had started much earlier than we think? In our games. In our imaginations.
Art is not there to reassure. It is there to awaken.
