An abstract artist, Garcia creates colorful images of human figures and objects. Creative, energetic and witty, his pieces juxtapose object and man. His artworks are mysterious and humorous, and offer a new perspective of the dynamic between our inner self and the outside world.
Born in Palencia, Spain, 1961. Currently lives & works in Brooklyn, New York.
