The painter Alonso Rey was born on April 29, 1967 in Lima, Peru. His father a doctor and his mother an artist, he grew up watching his mother paint. Alonso studied at the Joe de Leon School of Graphic Design, but after two years he realized that painting was his passion. He entered the Escuela Nacional Superior Autónoma de Bellas Artes del Perú, Peru’s century old School of Fine Arts, where he learned the use of color. There he received his academic preparation to continue his journey of painting. Alonso’s energetic and subtle brushwork and unabashed love of color is decidedly realistic. The artist offers in his paintings human behaviors and emotions derived from his experiences in various periods of his life. His work has been labeled psychological realism, revealing his fascinating theme and technique.
