Alfonso Arambula was born in Ensenada in 1953. He often works on a large scale for public spaces. He taught art and English, and studied art at Palomar College, San Diego and at UA in Baja. Arambula's love of nature and the environment, particularly that of his native Baja, is the inspiration behind his art. Writing about Arambula's work, Armando Gonzalez states, "Our land, Baja California, is mysterious and subterranean. With little apparent life, miles
of color explode suddenly with the slightest smattering of rain. Suddenly, everything moves: the lizards, the rattlesnakes, the osprey and the whales...all of this is captured by the trained hands of Alfonso Arambula...time and again, the artist turns into an aesthetic journalist of our beautiful vastness."

Arambula's art is in public and private collections in the United States, Japan, and Europe, and he has been the recipient of numerous awards and commissions.
