Career
Career
Ulloa participated in more than a hundred solo and collective exhibits around the world and the subject of four books that illustrate his contributions. Art historian and author, Cándido Gerón of Alberto Ulloa, Visionario Fantástico, reveals Ulloa's gift: “As colors correspond to human emotions, Ulloa can achieve an optical illusion. Color in his work is impregnated with diaphanous sensitivity. His chromatic atmospheres sometimes make us think that we are before some sort of dream, due to the inscrutable sensuality of his tones”. Ulloa was the recipient of many prizes and awards and given the keys to the cities of Miami, FL and Jersey City, NJ. Between the years 2001 to 2004 Ulloa served as Consul General of the Dominican Republic in Spain.
