Carlos Alfonzo (b. 1950, Havana, Cuba – d.1991, Miami, FL) was a trailblazing figure whose creative contributions significantly shaped Miami’s role as a hub of artistic influence. As a prodigious talent formalizing his practice in Cuba under Castro’s Communist Regime, Alfonzo attended the Academia de Bellas Artes, San Alejandro, where he earned a degree in Painting, Sculpture, and Printmaking in 1973. He furthered his studies at the University of Havana, Cuba achieving a degree in Art History a year later, in 1974.
