For Alfredo Rodríguez, painting was as much a part of his childhood development as learning to walk and speak. Some of his earliest memories are of illustrating classroom assignments and painting portraits of family members with one of his earliest gifts, a set of watercolors from his mother at the age of six. Born and raised in México in a family of nine children, Alfredo used his talent to supplement his family's income needs.
A professional artist since 1968, Alfredo Rodríguez is enjoying international response by private and corporate art collectors, as well as wide critical acclaim. He is internationally recognized for his outstanding paintings of the American West. His rich and vivid images of mountains, deserts, and Indian villages are admired wherever they are displayed, but it is his portrayal of the inhabitants of the land that provides the focal point of his work. As he paints he captures the dignity of the human spirit elevated by the majestic beauty of their surroundings. He has come a long way from such a humble begining, yet the critics believe that his masterful treatment of the American West is largely responsible for his success and demonstrates even greater potential for the future.
Many blessings
