Alfredo Sinclair

Who was Alfredo Sinclair?

Alfredo Sinclair was a Panamanian artist. He was born in Panama City. He studied with Humberto Ivaldi at the National School of Painting and later in Argentina, between 1947 and 1951.

In spite of the fact that the Panamanian public did not understand much of his art, in 1955 he was awarded a prize for a piece that included bits of glass. With the passage of time Sinclair's painting followed the lines of a lyrical abstraction that went from collages to soft and luminous compositions. One of his most famous works is "Mancha". Sinclair died on 2 February 2014 from heart failure at the age of 98. His daughter Olga Sinclair is also an artist.
