Born in 1929 in Valencia, Andreu Alfaro is one of the most prominent sculptors in Spanish modern art. Self-taught in his early years, he began working with materials such as wood and iron in the 1950s and 1960s, experimenting with geometric shapes influenced by movements like constructivism, minimalism, and the works of artists like Jorge Oteiza and Constantin Brancusi. Alfaro developed a unique style based on the repetition of lines and structures that evoke a balance between dynamism and serenity.

Throughout the 1970s, Alfaro gained recognition in the art scene thanks to harmoniously monumental works that he integrated into public spaces in various Spanish and international cities, including Barcelona, Valencia, and New York. His sculptures, primarily made of stainless steel and aluminum, are characterized by a deep study of light and movement, creating optical illusions and shifting perspectives depending on the viewer’s standpoint. His “Columns” series, in particular, reflects this desire to synthesize geometry and nature.

Alfaro’s works have been exhibited in prestigious museums and galleries, including the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno (IVAM), and the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA). His works are also part of private and public collections across Europe and the United States. Throughout his career, Alfaro was committed to creating a visual language capable of engaging with space and with human values of freedom and harmony.

Andreu Alfaro’s work remains a reference point in contemporary sculpture and a bridge between modernity and tradition, with pieces that inspire both for their formal complexity and their ability to move the viewer.
