Alfredo De la María was born in Uruguay in 1945. He studied art and architecture at the Bellas Artes School in Montevideo. In 1966, De la María left for Europe, where he settled in Paris for the next three years. After returning to Montevideo for a short time, he traveled to Argentina to take a position with an important publishing company in Buenos Aires. There he created illustrations for the covers of many major magazines, including Automundo, Parabrisas, El Tony, and Dartagnan. During this time he became totally involved in automotive art, and in 1989 he made the first of his many exhibits at the Buenos Aires Classic Cars Club.
