La Gran Vía, Madrid, painted with red wine by Alfonso Aguirre

Artist · Madrid & London

Alfonso Aguirre

Watercolour · Wine on paper · Oil painting

Alfonso Aguirre’s work begins with the permanence of the mark — the moment a gesture lands and can no longer be undone.

Across wine, watercolour and oil, his paintings move between observation and invention, intimacy and spectacle.

Selected work

Wine on Paper

Red wine becomes pigment: unstable, transparent and alive, deepening as time transforms it.

The artist

An irreversible gesture

For more than three decades, Alfonso has explored the directness of painting: the pressure, flow and consequence of every mark.
