Eric Alfaro

Biography

"I use paint as a means of expression and experimentation with color, mostly in search of environments that pivot between traditional and contemporary ideology," — Eric Alfaro

Who is artist Eric Alfaro?

Cuban-American artist Eric Alfaro is an emerging contemporary artist, known for his unique painting style. Alfaro paints a range of subject matter including, people, fish, and nature. Yet, it is his gestural approach that sets him apart from other artists. Throughout his artworks, Eric builds a beautiful texture, adding a unique sense of dimensionality and transience to his art style.

 

Like other classic artists, Eric Alfaro was classically trained at the Academy of Arts when living in Cuba. Yet after graduating, the painter took his classical training and blended it together with contemporary influences, to establish his own art style.

 

Influenced by Modern Impressionism, Eric's oil paintings on canvas has earned him the reputation as the Modern-Day Monet. His process is quite extensive, he first uses photographic references, then alters each element with variations and colors. Afterwards, the artist paints his canvases, using either acrylics or oil, and employing various types of brushes and spatulas to create different effects. With this technique, Eric Alfaro's oil paintings bridge the gap between Modern Art and Contemporary Art.

 

Eric Alfaro has quickly achieved artistic success and is now represented by many fine art galleries. Alfaro is constantly exhibiting new works at various locations, including the "Copperfest" Arts Festival in North Miami, Florida, United States; and at the “Paratissima” Contemporary Art Fair in Torino, Italy. His work is housed in many private collections, including Cuba, the United States, Canada, Italy, France, England, Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Russia, Spain, Egypt, Singapore, South Africa, Angola, China, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Panama, Holland. As well as at the Copperbridge Art Foundation; the company F&F Media Corp., and in the collection of the Lincoln Center Orchestra, in New York, all in the United States. His works have also been published in the Spanish magazine CdeCuba Art Magazine and the Four Seasons Magazine.
