Andreu ALFARO


Andreu Alfaro Hernández (Valencia 1929 - 2012), an essentially self-taught sculptor and draftsman with artistic training, began his artistic activity at the end of the 1950s with a constructivist heritage sculpture to develop, in the following three decades, a changing and diversified but faithful to certain basic conceptions, in which he applies his geometric knowledge to create abstract works. His works are usually full of nuances, which play with the module, with the series, with light and with colour.
On a more personal level, Andreu Alfaro was an artist committed to the society in which he lived. The ideals of democracy, freedom, enlightenment, etc. They always appeared in his works,
"Originality can never be a purpose."
