Alonsa Guevara (b. 1986, Rancagua, Chile) is a Chilean-American multidisciplinary artist whose practice centers on oil painting and extends into sculpture, installation, and sound, and has recently expanded into children’s literature and illustration.

Her works blur the lines between fantasy and reality while celebrating the connection between humankind and nature. As a Latin American woman whose life has unfolded across three distinct countries—Chile, Ecuador, and the USA—Guevara's art explores questions surrounding identity, belonging, and womanhood, offering her personal understanding and appreciation of beauty.

Guevara holds an MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art (2014) and a BFA from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (2009).

She has been awarded numerous grants and residencies, including the Muralist Award for LAMI & San Pedro Waterfront Arts District in San Pedro, CA; the Tashkeel Art Residency in Dubai; the Eric Fischl ’66 Artist-in-Residence Teaching Program at WNA, USA; the NYAA Fellowship Award; and the Elizabeth Greenshields Grant.

Alonsa's work has been published in Forbes Magazine, Time Out NYC, VICE, and The National News UAE, among others, and has been exhibited internationally, including in China, the United Arab Emirates, Mexico, Denmark, Argentina, Chile, and throughout the USA. Her most recent solo show, Frutos del Tiempo, was in 2024 at the Brownsville Museum of Fine Arts in Texas.
