If I were to sum up in one word our experience
with working with Lamberto, that word would be "contagious."
Once in a great while we meet a person in our professional
life whose entire personality and dealings make that experience
so indelibly compelling … so absolutely memorable that
we keep going back for more. That is Lamberto Alvarez.
Yes, Shining Star Heros is an inspirational
publication. But it pales compared to the man whose mind devined
it. To a business person like me, Lamberto is also a "shining
hero."

"My name is Renzo Devia, I'm the producer
of American Latino TV (www.AmericanLatino.tv)
I saw Lamberto Alvarez's site a while back and loved his work.
I like it so much that I decided to cover him in our show.
He's a very diverse artist that works on different formats.
From music to painting and even photography Lamberto Alvarez
captures the true essence of being an American Latino. I love
the colors and themes of his art and hope to work with him
one day."

"I have never known an artist to use
such a wide variety of media and unique styles to express
his talent. But even more impressive is that Lamberto can
best be characterized as a "creative angel". His
art is nothing short of amazing and I am even more impressed
by his heart. He has jumped at every opportunity to make a
contribution to our community. His creative gifts and personal
generosity are inspiring"

"Lamberto Alvarez's work captures
the flare, passion and colors that represent the essence of
Latino images and art. His frequent contributions to Al Día
embrace that spirit of creativity and originality that appeals
to our Spanish-speaking readers. He understands the culture
and language that underpin what it means to be Latino, which
is essential to reach our market."

"I first met Lamberto in 1989
when I hired him as an editorial artist for The Dallas Morning
News. At that time, he was already an accomplished talent…what
I find so amazing is that he has continued to grow that talent
and to expand his range of creativity and artistic expression.
Lamberto’s continuing growth paired with his passion
for the arts, delivers work that lives extremely well in either
the commercial or fine art world."

"Having known Lamberto since 1984,
his artwork and creativity is truly nothing short of amazing!
His artistic style is very electric, colorful and modern with
a brilliant poignancy. Lamberto's artistic talents are ones
we are sure to see much more of in the world of creative art,
advertising and marketing. He is detail oriented, methodical
and extremely creative in his exectution of his art projects.
Lamberto is a true professional in the world of art and a
pleasure to work with."

"As a Latino-themed children's book
author, I have a short list of illustrators whose work truly
renders authentic portrayals of Latinos in the Americas. Children,
adults, the elderly, not to mention how he captures Hispanic
contemporary life in all walks of life. A native El Pasoan,
and fellow Texan, he not only observes, but absorbs the essence
of his subject's acculturation, assimilation and lifestyle
in the keen details. I call him my 'Mano Rockwell" of
the 21st century!"

"Both personally and professionally
I find Lamberto's sincerity engaging. Spend a few minutes
with him and he'll make you feel like you've known each other
for years, even if you just met. One look at his portfolio
of work will reveal his immense talent. But it's his passion
for creativity that really stands out to me. For an artist
to be able to redefine himself in different mediums with work
that can uniquely stand independently on it's own design merits
seems rare to me, Lamberto achieves that. Knowing Lamberto
continues to remind me that it's possible to be talented,
successful and genuine!" June 24, 2009

"I read a commentary from an artist
that said... "Life before and after Lamberto..."
I think that explains it perfectly. I was lucky to have worked
with Lamberto Alvarez for about six years at the Dallas Morning
News and there is not enough space here to write everything
about him. He is an excellent artist, a dedicated professional
and a great human being. As an artist I learned more from
him in one year than I did in my entire five years at the
university. As a human being he is a very modest person, unselfishly
willing to help anyone, with a smile. And as a professional
his work speaks for itself, with all the awards and recognitions
he has received over the years. I feel very fortunate to have
had him as an example and to be able to call him my friend."

"Lamberto not only was a great co-worker,
he was a great teacher: Much of what I have learned about
graphic design and visual journalism I first learned in conversations
with Lamberto, who has the ability to take a basic idea and
expand it into something creative and dynamic. I'm also a
client of his. After having seen his work at a co-worker's
home, I commissioned him to do a portrait of my children.
Working off a series of snapshots, he produced a work that,
half a decade later, still makes me and my wife pause with
delight regularly." January 10,
