Carlos Alves Ceramic Studio.
Carlos Alves started showing his passion at early age for making things out of clay, glass, salvaged artifacts, broken shards and recycled ceramic knick-knacks. Alves has created mosaic murals for walls, floors, driveways, and swimming pools. Alves is now applying his artistry to large public and private artwork projects throughout the US and abroad. Most recently Alves finished the fountain on Miami Beaches’ Lincoln Road, in front of the Colony Theater. He originally tiled the fountain after Hurricane Andrew and when the City of Miami Beach installed a new water feature to the fountain. Alves use a magnificent coral reef theme throughout a lot if his work and you may recognize his work as you walk thru Art Center South Florida, Miami Beach City Hall, Miami’s 8th Street Metro Mover station and the 40’ Sand Castle at the Miami Children’s Museum. The concept of the business is creating pieces of art from recycled ceramic objects and glass. Also, has a series of functional wares, including serving platters with whimsical shapes that reflect the artist love for tropics and the sea.
