  ALFONSO ALBACETE CARREIRA (Antequera, Málaga, 1950). "Interior nº 11", 2004. Acrylic on canvas. Signed, dated and titled on the back. Presents the stamp of the Amparo Gamir Gallery (Madrid). Measurements: 150 x 110 cm. Albacete has worked on numerous occasions in the representation of interior spaces, an example of this is the exhibition that was held in November 2020, in the reputed Marlborough Gallery in Madrid. They are almost always spaces in which the interior is invaded by the presence of the exterior, thus creating an extension where the intimacy and universality of the space in which the human being dwells come together. In the words of the artist in Ars Magazine, his works are defined as "prolongations of previous themes, almost autobiographical; existential, I would say". Alfonso Albacete trained with Juan Bonafé in Murcia, where he spent his early years. He later continued his pictorial studies at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Valencia, and finally studied architecture at the Escuela Técnica Superior in Madrid, where he finished his studies in 1977. During his time in Madrid he became acquainted at first hand with the work of the great Spanish artists, both classical and contemporary. Three years later, in 1980, he was awarded a scholarship by the Ministry of Culture in the category of Plastic Arts. A painter and engraver, he developed a language based on an expressive chromatism, close to that of American abstraction and even pop art, placing himself on the border between figuration and abstraction. From the beginning of the 1990s, his plastic art began to take on an iconography that has been a constant in his production ever since: the human figure, the still life and the landscape. He was awarded the D'Achtall Observatory Prize for the Visual Arts (2013), and in 2007 he created the sculptural group "Oratholos" in Murcia. Armando Montesinos and Francisco Vivó González have dedicated their doctoral theses to him (2000 and 2002), and he is currently represented in the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the White House Collection in Washington, the CAAM in Las Palmas, the ARTIUM in Vitoria, the Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Museo de Arte Abstracto Español in Cuenca, the Dobe (Zurich), Banco de España, Telefónica, La Caixa and Chase Manhattan Bank collections, the Mie Prefectural Museum of Art in Japan and the Wurth Museum in Germany, among others.
