Tiffany Alfonseca is an Uptown-based Dominican American mixed-media artist whose practice centres the Black and Latinx diasporic experience. Drawing on her Dominican heritage, she creates vibrant compositions that examine the cultural, social, and emotional dimensions of identity while foregrounding beauty, complexity, and self-definition.

Working across painting, drawing and print making, Alfonseca situates her figures within richly articulated spaces informed by lived experience, memory, and community. Her compositions engage themes of womanhood, colourism, class, family, ritual, and inheritance, offering nuanced reflections on the structures and narratives that shape everyday life.

Her work further considers questions of race, visibility, and double consciousness, presenting subjects with dignity, presence, and agency. Through a visual language marked by chromatic intensity and compositional care, Alfonseca constructs spaces in which Black and Latinx identities are affirmed, honoured, and made fully visible.
