About The Artist

Isaiah Lawrence Rosa Alfaro Carozzi’s Career Changes Led Her To Painting Rosa Alfaro Carozzi was born in Lima, Peru and has been residing in New York City for 40 years. At a late start painting, the age of 30 is when she learned to hone her skills. Rosa admits that she admires the short-lived Fauvism style (where there was not a focus on representational or realistic values, but vivid colors). Looking at some Fauvism pieces, you can see where she gets her inspiration from, where her pieces showcase vibrant and decorative effects. She developed a new style and interesting enough, her first ever painting has it. The Peruvian / NYC painter, Rosa, is also a figurative painter, who attempts to create a narrative in her paintings that include people of different ethnic backgrounds bonding. Art runs in her blood where her grandfather was an art collector in Lima and her mom was a poet. At the rare age of 5, she learned to recite poetry. She loves all forms of art from dance, music, film, photography, and especially Broadway shows in New York City. Another thing worth knowing is she refuses to sign her paintings with her maiden name, signing them as “Alfaro Carozzi.”
