  • Eric Alfaro's "Wildflower Series

  • Who is Eric Alfaro?

    Eric Alfaro is a Cuban artist based in the United States who is primarily known for his prolific portraiture. Eric Alfaro dives into human sensibilities through tender, intentional motions that ultimately reveal realistic paintings. His technical mastery and keen-sightedness capture true gesture; a personal seal that despite being figurative, does not lack space and sense.

    Alfaro is quickly gaining reputation as the Modern-Day Monet; transforming oil paint with his spatula into unforgettable imagery. Not only does the impasto texture lure curiosity, but his marriage of color and contrast creates a profound perception of dimension.

  • Dan Alva's "Bouquet" Series

  • Who is Dan Alva?

    Dan Alva is a Miami-based contemporary artist who is redefining the boundaries of traditional fine art by seamlessly blending classical mastery with bold, modern abstraction.

     Renowned for his striking fusion of figurative elements, camouflage, and geometric patterns, Alva creates compositions that reimagine art history’s most celebrated painters. His approach positions him at the forefront of transitional art, bridging the past and present with a distinct visual language. 

     

    Alva’s work has been showcased in leading art fairs, galleries, and institutions worldwide. He has been a fixture at Art Miami since 2018, cementing his place as a sought-after name in the international art scene. 

  • Stef Ross’s "Spring Traveler" Series

  • Who is Stef Ross?

    Stef Ross is an American multidisciplinary artist, who creates sculptural art inspired by fashion and pop culture. 

     

    Based in Chicago, Ross employs a diverse range of mediums, including tempera paint (sourced from her pet chickens), push pins, rice paper, acrylic paint, balloons, stuffed animals, and gems. The resulting artwork is characterized by contemporary, playful, colorful, and whimsical imagery. 

  • Caroline Dechamby "Tulips"

  • Who is Caroline Dechamby?

    Throughout her career spanning over three decades, Caroline Dechamby has used art and history as a source of appropriation through which to develop her own niche, and place of resonance for her audience, within the largely male-dominated canon of painting. Dechamby’s paintings re-asses masterpieces by household names — among them Pablo Picasso, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Piet Mondrian, as her own, painting herself (either full-bodied or as silhouette) into the pieces in the act of creation.

    In doing so, Dechamby symbolically and visually takes back the field from “the boys” reimagining art history in her own vision, and allowing for viewers, especially female viewers, to envision themselves too in the empowered position of creative genius in place of the artist’s painted avatar.

  • Zhuang Hong Yi’s "Flowerbed" Series

  • Who is Zhuang Hong Yi?

    Zhuang Hong Yi is a globally celebrated artist known for his innovative "flowerbed" paintings. Combining meticulous Chinese craftsmanship with expressive techniques inspired by the Netherlands' iconic tulip fields, Zhuang's art reflects a profound connection to nature, growth, and universal beauty.

    Zhuang’s "flowerbed" paintings are a masterful celebration of dimension, art history, and contemporary innovation. Crafted from folded, painted rice paper, each blossom transforms his canvases into sculptural masterpieces that shift in color and form as viewers move. This dynamic interplay between texture and motion challenges the boundaries of two-dimensional art, offering an immersive experience that bridges tradition and modernity. At Art Palm Beach, these works will highlight the timeless yet evolving dialogue between nature, culture, and artistic vision.
