Alcazaba de Almería desde el Cerro de San Cristóbal
This landscape captures the view of the Alcazaba of Almería, a monumental Moorish fortress built in 955 CE under Caliph Abd al-Rahman III. Rising above the city, the Alcazaba was both palace and stronghold, later expanded during the Taifa kingdom and modified after the Christian conquest of 1489. From the vantage point of Cerro de San Cristóbal, the fortress dominates the horizon, its walls and towers casting long shadows that speak to centuries of history, conquest, and resilience. Today, the Alcazaba remains one of the most significant symbols of Almería’s cultural heritage.
 
Sergio Alfonso Rodriguez Garcia
(Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico. 1983)
 
His work responds to an exploration of a formal and thematic nature, which he defines through painting and graphics with everyday elements, plant forms or landscapes.
The figurative aspect of his work, quite attached to tradition, accentuates a certain tension between the prosaic and the metaphysical.
