Alfredo Gonzalez
Dofre
Alfredo Gonzalez (DOFRE) is a painter based in Oxnard, California. His introduction to art came through graffiti, which later led him to pursue a BFA in Painting at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
Working primarily in oil and aerosol, his paintings draw from personal experiences, the people around him, and the communities he grew up in. His work has been exhibited nationally and is held in private collections in the United States and abroad.
