Lee Alvarado – Featured Artist
(They/Them) | Hell’s Kitchen, NYC
Lee Alvarado is a neosurreal/neotraditional artist whose work explores themes of nature, spirituality, the feminine divine, gender diversity, love, and liberation. With a background in iPad illustrations, sketchbook app designs, pen-and-paper sketches, and tattooing, Lee brings a dynamic and deeply personal touch to every piece they create.
Inspired by the world around them, Lee seeks to translate visual and emotional resonance into their work—capturing moments that connect with others through their own unique lens. Their journey as an artist began in childhood, watching their father draw and aspiring to develop that skill. By elementary school, Lee recognized their passion for art, but it wasn’t until the age of 20 that they truly began defining their artistic identity.
A significant milestone in their career has been curating artist vending events, bringing together like-minded creatives to collectively amplify their platforms—a process that felt both empowering and deeply fulfilling. They draw influence from a range of artists, from Valfre to Banksy and Dalí, appreciating surrealism with an intentional message.
Lee’s work has been showcased at The Silent Barn, Bushwick Street Art, Greenpoint Gallery, and more. Their artistic journey extends into tattooing, which they describe as a collaborative experience—a permanent piece of art tethered to a meaningful moment.
Lee offers commissions and custom work, inviting clients into their creative world. Connect with them on Instagram @gigglee_puff
