About the painter

Rodrigo Alonso

Alonso was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where his gift for drawing surfaced early. By his teens he was painting for a well-known atelier in Montevideo, Uruguay, and at 16 he mounted his first exhibition.

He has lived in the United States since 2006. Much of that time has been quiet by design: a long refinement of style and technique, away from the pressures of an exhibition calendar. He is now showing his work again and selling directly to collectors around the world.

His subject is Nature as force. A weather system gathering over the plain. A coastline caught mid-change. Each painting is an argument about what matters in a scene.
