Andreu Alfaro Hernández (Valencia 1929 - Rocafort 2012) was a self-taught artist who began his exhibition activity in 1957, forming part of the Grup Parpalló between 1959 and 1961.

Inspired by authors such as Constantin Brancusi, Julio González and Jorge Oteiza, Alfaro's sculpture is framed within the constructivist tradition by the use of industrial materials and techniques at the service of an extremely refined formal style.

Characterized by abstract and minimalist geometries of steel and aluminum and by marble columns that play with light, the module, the series and the color, its production has been prolific reaching over two thousand sculptures that have been exhibited on numerous occasions in the Venice Biennial and in the fairs of Cologne, Düsseldorf, Basel, Paris and Madrid, among others.
