His artwork has been showcased in leading exhibitions all over the world. He draws his inspiration from: Picasso, Mirò, Chagall, Dali and Durer. He is a great admirer of Kandinsky. This is reflected in his high quality and artistic etchings.His particular focus is the art in public spaces.Alfred feels attachment to an art form, which includes design that leads to beauty and harmony. His vivid style is a sign of spontaneous creativity and artistic energy. The bright colors and the graceful motion of his characters mark his beautiful and artistic compositions, which reflect zest of life and push his works to a higher level of visual pleasure. He loves playing with form and color in a virtual way and describes his creative work as "œrhythmical painting"� His artwork seems to explode of vitality. The tremendous drive of his painting puts his characteristic figures and compositions in vibrations, which reflect consequently the motion in his artwork. Dance and music are his favorite themes. His originals begin as brief sketches to grip creative moments, which inspire him later and retain the charm of his drafts while he finishes his paintings.
