Javier Álvarez was born in Havana, Cuba, 46 years ago. Trained in Fine Arts in his home country, he built a career as an audiovisual filmmaker in both Cuba and Argentina, and studied Integral Cinematography at IDAC, the Institute of Cinematographic Art of Avellaneda. He has lived in Buenos Aires for nearly fifteen years, where he works as a graphic designer.

He has been writing since he was twelve. In 2017, after his first significant breakup, psychoanalysis didn't arrive as an intellectual curiosity. It arrived as an urgent necessity. That path, begun from a place of pain, allowed him to go deeper into a world that had always called his attention. In 2024, during a relationship that would prove defining, he discovers the attachment theory of John Bowlby. There he found a language for what he had lived through but never been able to name. In 2025 he decides to write this book: his first completed work, born directly from that process, and from an honest need to bring new perspectives and empirical insight into a conversation that until recently only happened behind closed doors, in the privacy of the therapist's office.

The author is currently working on two new projects in novelistic form, where these same stories find another way of being told.
