Alfredo Buenaventura was born into a distinguished family of artists in Bulacan, a province north of Manila, Philippines. After studying art for a short period at the University of Santo Tomás, Alfredo was placed under the tutelage of his uncle, the painter Cesar Buenaventura, who was at the peak of his artistic career as a painter, mainly of Impressionist landscapes.
Alfredo used a spatula to create the expressionist fillings that characterize his works and contrasted this technique with the subtle impressionism he learned from his uncle.
His paintings are found in private collections in the United States, Spain and the Philippines.
