Biography:
Alfredo Laporta was born in Barcelona in 1974 where he studied painting and illustration at the Massana and Llotja schools respectively. Years later he traveled to Basel with thecommission to carry out the murals and trompe l’oeil for the entire interior of the Drachen hotel. After four months in the Swiss city, Alfredo Laporta settled in Paris where he lived for three and a half years. There he made contact with the world of Parisian art and further developed my personal work. Alfredo Laporta returned to Barcelona where he stayed for eight years until in 2012 he traveled and settled in Berlin where he currently lives and where in 2016 he finished and presented the film “Auf dem Weg”. In 2019, the French government ommissioned he to carry out the him frescoes for the church “L’Annunciata” by Pianottoli in Corsica, France, where I painted its 31 m2 in the 21st century.
During his artistic career he has exhibited in different cities around the world, as well as made artistic works of various kinds.

Statement:
“My work explores the notion of the human being. Through my portraits or through my figures, I deal with the subject of the human being, working from realism to suggestive decompositions and representations. I represent men and women, together or separately with an unlimited knowledge of the documentation of the human. I show them both with a look that goes from the depth, essential and intimate of the individual to a broader perspective of the human race. My portraits show that my passion for painting revolves around, not only my interest in the human figure, but more specifically the individual. My pictorial construction is in its own space between cubism, futurism, surrealism or expressionism”.
