Biography

In his series Replenishing Emptiness and Brief Chronicle of Light, Alfredo De Stefano explores the stark desert of Coahuila, Mexico. In his repetition of the horizon, the artist changes only the time of day and the objects in the foreground. By deconstructing the landscape and re-interpreting it at an elemental level, his pieces do not confront nature, but rather they become extensions of nature. He creates signs that intensify the perception of the desert.

The artist was born in Monclova, Coahuila, Mexico, in 1961. He has a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Sciences by the Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila. Since 1982 has participated in more than 90 individual and collective expositions, in Mexico as well as in United States, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa.
