(as in most of the author's work), but treated in this case from a diagonal reading, without facing the facts and taking action. Events and ideas just float in the air.

Work inspired by the shapes, textures and volumes of rocky landscapes. The different perspectives of a landscape where the rocks are elements of a puzzle resulting from erosion and chance.
Each rock suggests a shape and between them they build a different story depending on the point of view and the light that illuminates them.
Thousands of years act on them constituting the base of our landscapes of life.

Macro-schematic art is only found in the northern area of the province of Alicante, it was created by the first Neolithic groups that arrived in these lands in the middle of the 6th millennium BC, coming from the Near East. Through the Mediterranean, these groups sailed in canoes, always close to the coast, carrying with them wheat and barley seeds, sheep and goats.
These macro-schematic paintings stand out for their large size and the main images are human figures called "orantes", people with their arms raised as if they were praying. They were painted to achieve the fertility of the fields, animals and women.
The chosen places are rocky shelters, well visible and illuminated by the sun. These areas were not habitat but "sanctuaries" to which the surrounding populations went for religious celebrations, rites of passage, alliances...

Biography
I'm an expressionist abstract painter. I make lyrical paintings, based on color, texture and energy. I try to connect with the most ancient part of my brain, the least educated area.
I develop my work in 2 phases, the first one is the most intuitive part of the work, I create interest without thinking a lot, without judge anything and giving to myself opportunities to create interest. In the second phase, I work in a more logical way, working the composition, values and details.I work with acrylics, alcohol inks and spray painting mainly.

Exposición del pintor alicantino Alfonso Sánchez
El próximo 3 de Marzo a las 19h. se inaugura la exposición de pintura “Tengo un Plan” en la sala Roberto Mira de la Biblioteca Municipal de Sant Joan d’Alacant (Alicante)La muestra hace un recorrido por la obra reciente del artista, una pintura expresionista, influenciada por el primitivismo y el arte prehistórico alicantino
El pintor sanjuanero Alfonso Sánchez mostrará durante el mes de Marzo la obra pictórica desarrollada durante el último año y medio. Un trabajo fundamentalmente expresionista que trata de conectar con el cerebro más primitivo a través del gesto y la intuición.
La obra que compone la exposición “Tengo un plan” responde a la incertidumbre actual y el cambio trepidante de la vida y del mundo, interpretada por Sánchez a través de un proceso creativo dominado también por la incertidumbre sobre el resultado. Siendo el título de la exposición una ironía, ya que tal como comenta el autor, “...aunque nos empeñamos en dirigir nuestros destinos, no hay plan, ni para vivir ni para pintar…"
Alfonso además es un gran admirador del arte prehistórico alicantino, especialmente del arte macroesquemático que encontramos en los primeros santuarios neolíticos como el de Pla de Petracos en Castell de Castells. De hecho en muchas de las obras del autor aparecen referencias a la simbología neolítica e incluso realiza interpretaciones actuales de algunos de los “orantes” que encontramos en cuevas y abrigos alicantinos.
“Tengo un plan” constituye por tanto un diálogo entre una pintura muy conectada con su tiempo y la esencia de la pintura de los primeros neolíticos que habitaron tierras alicantinas. Al fin y al cabo, tal como indica Sánchez “...las motivaciones y la necesidad de pintar es la misma que hace 20.000 años”.
La exposición estará disponible hasta el 30 de Marzo de lunes a viernes en horario ininterrumpido de 9h a 21h. (fines de semana cerrado).
Acerca de….
Alfonso Sánchez (Alicante, 1976), pintor alicantino, apasionado del arte y en continua experimentación.
La mayor parte de su obra se podría definir como expresionismo abstracto, aunque también se encuentran obras figurativas con clara influencia del arte prehistórico.Es una pintura lírica, basada en el trabajo del color, la textura y la pincelada, que trata de conectar con el cerebro más primitivo,, a través de un proceso creativo muy intuitivo, con una pintura gestual y un trabajo de superposición de capas que van dejando su rastro en el resultado final.
Alfonso Sánchez recibió en 2022 el 1º Premio del Certamen Nacional de Pintura Sánchez Butrón Abogados, así como menciones de honor en diferentes concursos. Su obra ha sido adquirida por coleccionistas privados de EEUU, Japón y Europa.

Reviews and comments
Buenas Alfonso, me encanta tu trabajo ‼️👏🏻🙌🏻eres un crack, Un saludo desde Bilbao‼️
Non pas éphémère mais immortalisé !
Le nouveau construit sur l'ancien.Un dialogue s'invite et s'installe entre ces différentes couches.......! Beaucoup de choses à décrypter chez vous !
Harmonie, composition, rythme, contrastes de formes et de couleurs. Cette apparente facilité est d'une extrême complexité la seule preuve étant le nombre d'oeuvres. Quand c'est facile on en fait une dizaine et on s'épuise vite, ce qui n'est pas le cas d'Alfonso qui se répète sans jamais se copier.
