"Wildflowers"

Exploring new subject matter with the newest series “Wildflowers," Alfaro paints different flora all rendered in bright and soft colors. Applying layers of paint with different spatulas and paintbrushes, Alfaro achieves an incredible sense of dimensionality. The resulting realism captures nature's delicate interplay of form, texture, and color.

"The Fishbowl Koi Study"

"For years I have been painting landscapes of lily ponds, and this new series is like the evolution, or new variant of that theme. On this occasion, the protagonists of the works are the koi,"  —Eric Alfaro 

"Story of Nostalgia" 

Expanding on his initial portraiture study, Alfaro turns to the figure as an emblem of emotion and nostalgia. Featuring anonymous figures wearing the timeless fashion classic, denim, Eric's figures remind many viewers of a time of adolescence and naivety.
