“Rafael Alonso se declara, em terceira pessoa, como um 'pintor de paisagens idílicas', um personagem supostamente ingênuo que ajuda a elaborar a iconografia dos trópicos. 'De lá [da sua praia inventada] o pintor consegue ver ao longe o oceano ou imaginá-lo derretido com uma fina camada oleosa na superfície.' Fragmentos de diversos motivos tropicais: praias paradisíacas, a silhueta de uma palmeira, ilhas desertas, ondas, céus típicos de verão. O que está em jogo é esgarçar o clichê.”
Pollyana Quintella

“Rafael Alonso declares himself, in third person, as an 'idyllic landscape painter', a supposedly naive character who helps to elaborate the iconography of the tropics. 'From there [from his invented beach] the painter can see the ocean in the distance or imagine it melted with a thin oily layer on the surface.' Fragments of different tropical motifs: paradisiacal beaches, the silhouette of a palm tree, deserted islands, waves, typical summer skies. What is at stake is fraying the cliché.”
Pollyana Quintella
