All art is personal, both for the creator and for the purchaser. Certainly, this could not be truer than it is for the art by Alfredo Garcia, a contemporary expressionist with a wonderfully creative and unique approach to the creation of his works.
Always a lover of textures, colors and patterns, Garcia did not begin his adult life as an artist. In fact, he has been in business administration for years, and only began a serious avocation in art in response to a devastating divorce process – a means of eliminating stress and natural despondency. One of the recurring themes in his work, therefore, is the universal truth that life goes on and that the functional individual improves and/or adapts to new conditions and situations as necessary. Such is the theme of his “Eternal Sun” series, the statement of which is that life is elegant and enduring. Other works relate to both personal and social situations in Garcia’s life and, inasmuch as they are situations we all face, his art reaches everyone.
One of the interesting aspects of art by Alfredo Garcia is that it uses a wonderful variety of media to reflect ...
... patterns in life – paint, clay, tiles, and stones – in colors ranging from pastels to vibrant primary and secondary shades. He offers his art 4 sale on a variety of websites, on which his portfolio is beautifully depicted.
Garcia’s biography is an interesting study, as depicted at http://issuu.com/artpress/docs/peripheral_arteries_-_november_2013/22. In this interview, he explains his initial passions for high school woodworking classes, the catalyst for his abiding interest in various mediums for art. For example, he rarely uses canvas but prefers, instead, Masonite board on which he can inscribe markings and indentations and then use three-dimensional venues to complete the works. Often, he states, he takes inspiration from movies, such as “The Count of Monte Cristo” and a major influence, the photography of famed Andreas Gursky. Gursky’s use of patterns in nature has been particularly inspirational.
Garcia provides further insight into his personal life and its impact upon his artwork at http://www.saatchionline.com/profiles/portfolio/id/669056. Samples of his works are also available at this sight and demonstrate the beauty, elegance, and uniqueness of his pieces. Garcia’s goal is to become renown during his lifetime, unlike so many artists who achieve fame posthumously. His works are so stunning, moreover, that his goal shall quite possibly be achieved.
No one who views Alfredo Garcia’s work will not be impacted in a significant way. The sheer exquisiteness cannot be denied; more than that, however, every individual will see in his work, patterns in their own lives and nature in its most beautiful forms, and will be impressed by the color blending and the creativity of texture use. Indeed, these pieces will appeal to almost every taste and any home or office decor.
Alfredo Garcia is unique in a creative profession that so often today is depicted by “sameness.” Each of his pieces carries with it a part of the artist’s life experience, and there is a variety that cannot but help but appeal to a massive audience!
