Alfredo De Curtis was born in Naples, Italy in 1938. He started drawing and painting at a very young age, and at sixteen was accepted at The Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, Italy. He attended this art academy until 1958.
In 1959, Alfredo was in a serious automobile accident that hospitalized him for the next two years. In 1964, Alfredo moved to Milan, Italy where he further pursued his artistic education at a local Art school, and where he had his first one-man show.
From 1964 to 1967, Alfredo travelled Europe extensively to exhibit his fine works. In 1968, Alfredo came to America and briefly stays in Florida, after he traveled and settled in Ontario.
Alfredo’s work expresses originality, clarity and creativity. His subtle translucent colours, as well as his interlacing compositional forms, evokes intense poetry and gives lasting richness to his classic figurations.
Alfredo’s technique of painting in oil on hand-made panels resembles in some cases ancient wall frescos. It is a unique and truly innovative process, which allows him to achieve the effect of depth as well as rich and delicate texture, freeing Alfredo to fully express his deep poetic and spiritual emotion.
Alfredo’s fine art works can be found gracing walls of galleries and private collection’s around the world.
