Artist Statement:
Every painting is a journey.
A journey that begins with no
clear conception of the end
result. From the first mark
on the blank canvas begins the
process of building an image
that ultimately will have a
distinctive character of its
own and contain within it a
historical record of the
process of creativity. The
journey does not stop there.
A new relationship begins
between the painting and those
who come to view it. Without
exhibition the painting
remains incomplete. A
statement that is, according
to the periodical Diario do
Sul a direct quote from the
artist.
Perhaps for Alfora the
journey is near completion.
Art, for him, started as a
hobby in mid life leading to
an honors degree in Fine Art
at Staffordshire University.
Further studies at
Wolverhampton and Manchester
Metropolitan University took
him to Master’s level. He
also taught at local colleges
and at Staffordshire
University. Exhibitions in
England included prestigious
locations such as Manchester
Academy, The Royal West of
England Academy, Royal
Festival Hall and The Barbican
in London as well as with The
Printmakers Council. The
introduction to art for Alfora
was the discovery of J M W
Turner in the Tate gallery,
London. ...
