Born in Monterrey (Mexico), Alfonso has dedicated most of his time and energy exclusively to art, creation and representation. His activity spans from painting to artistic direction, passing through writing and theatrical manifestations, such as performance and theater (including puppets and radio).

Statement.

Painting kindles the myth in the heart of man and transforms it into legend.
My pictorial practice focuses on exploring the dialogue between imagination and spontaneity. I paint what emerges from the mind, but I allow the images to reveal themselves directly on paper or canvas, as if arising from an invisible stream that connects intuition with matter. I am interested in that intermediate space where creation seems to spring from the void. An echo that escapes reason.
This approach stems from personal experience: a dark night where ‘non-creation’ became the germ of everything. From the void, I discovered that minimal elements – water, clay and poetry – were enough to give shape to creation.
I work with clay, watercolor, Chinese ink, acrylic and oil, materials that allow me to explore the oscillation between what emerges and what retracts. In my works, I seek to capture that back and forth between presence and absence, light and shadow, and in that pendulum of the human mind: creation.
