"La Luna" Alfonso Malagon
Painting on masonite

Alfonso Malagon was born in Los Angeles and lived in Mexico for most of the 1980's. Malagon is self taught and possesses great skill in the graphic arts. He excells in caricatures and cartoons... but don't ignore his paintings and drawings!

Malagon depicts the past glorys and spiritual visions of the Aztec through his rich and colorful paintings.

"Noche de Gloria" Alfonso Malagon
Painting on Masonite 1999
(available as a poster print)

For being in his late 20s the artist shows a high degree of accomplishment, and not even being restricted to a wheelchair can slow down this creative dynamo. Malagon's work can be highly political, using cartoons and sketches to correct the evils of this world. He runs a great website where you can see a large body of his work: www.alfonsomalagon.com
