The chosen imagery derives from Alfredo's interest in plants and soil sciences; revealed through colored layers and the scratching and scraping away of the surface. The work is a reflection of Alfredo's childhood memories and the dichotomous engagement of tropical island urbanism and small-town America.

His paintings are influenced by Matisse, Paul Klee, and the German Expressionist. Alfredo's work has been exhibited thoughout the US, Chile and the Dominican Republic.

Alfredo Lorenzo was born in the Dominican Republic. He graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design and resides in Rhode Island.
