About the artist

Alfredo Sinclair

Panamanian

1915-2014

Alfredo Sinclair was the first Panamanian artist to explore abstractism. He studied with Humberto Ivaldi at the National School of Painting and later in Argentina, between 1947 and 1951. While the people of Panama did not necessarily understand much of his art, in 1955 he was awarded for a piece that included bits of glass, in 2000 he received the award in the Arts Excellencies, by the Museum of Contemporary Art, and in 2004 he was the first Panamanian to receive the Medal Andrés Bello Convention. His earlier works were semi-abstract paintings of urban congestion, fish, insects, and other animals. In the 1970s, his work became wholly abstract with evocative paintings of Biblical tables, wall cave paintings, and the faces of children, an essential feature of his works.
