Tiffany Alfonseca’s vibrant portraits capture the multiplicity of experience within Black and Afro-Latinx communities. The Bronx-based artist draws on her own Dominican American heritage to inform her glitter- and charcoal-adorned paintings and drawings: All depict African diasporic subjects in moments of intimacy, quietude, and joy. Alfonseca graduated from the School of Visual Arts in 2020 and has exhibited in London, New York, and Los Angeles. Her work has also been included in a number of benefit auctions, including the Museum of the African Diaspora’s “Diaspora Unite!” and ARTNOIR’s “From: Friends To: Friends.” Alfonseca’s unguarded, multifaceted depictions of Black life contradict the flattening narratives prevalent in Western art history.
