Alfredo De la María was born in Uruguay in 1945. De la María studied art and architecture at the Bellas Artes School, in Montevideo. At the age of 18 he served as an illustrator of politics and sporting events for a leading newspaper in Montevideo. In 1961 he conducted his first exhibit of equestrian paintings in Punta del Este City. His studies about Polo are legendary in Uruguay. Additionally his paintings of naval and aviation subjects were also much in demand. In 1966 De la María left for Europe where he settled in Paris for the next three years. Returning to Montevideo for a short time he traveled to Argentina, to take a position with an important publishing company in the city of Buenos Aires. There he created illustrations for the covers of the many major magazines including Automundo, Parabrisas, El Tony and Dartagnan.

     During this time he became totally involved in automotive art, and in 1989 he made the first of his many exhibits at the Buenos Aires Classic Cars Club. In a short time, his paintings were known not only in Argentina but also in much of the outside world. His paintings were exhibited at most of the important automotive shows such as Pebble Beach, Retromobile and Cavallino.

     What is apparent when looking at his artwork is the fact that these are the work of a very talented painter who in his use of oils combined with his impressionist paintbrush brings comparisons with legends of the automotive art such as F. Gordon Crosby and Gotschke. The maturity of his style with nothing over-painted in addition to their dramatic realism takes his artwork above the current generation of artists.

     After personally viewing thousands of automotive paintings, Monaco Magic 11 is by far the most outstanding & finely detailed masterpiece that I have ever seen in my entire life! The colors, the architectural details of the buildings in the city of Monaco are quite extraordinary, not to mention the play of light everywhere. The original sold for $60,000 to a private collector, and we are grateful to be able to offer you an exact size museum quality Giclee print of the original painting in a limited edition on canvas, both signed & numbered by the artist, who in my words is a pure genius.
