Alfonso Barrera lives and works in Oaxaca, a place that significantly influenced his training as an artist. His work has been exhibited in Mexico, the United States, Europe and Japan. His images examine human expression and the symbolic, drawing from his own personal experiences and emotions. In this sense, his art is self-referential. In his artistic language, he boldly combines dissimilar references, such as horror cinema, pre-Hispanic art, popular music, religion, spirituality, visual metaphors/representational, and art history. In 2012 he founded, together with the artist Mirel Fraga, the independent publisher Polvoh Press, a multiple graphics project that brings together his personal work and that of local artists.
