Alfredo Garcia is an
emerging visual artist based in California, specializing in abstract
assemblage. His work has received strong public acclaim as he has been featured
in the Artist Portfolio Magazine as well as the Peripheral ARTeries Art Review
Magazine on November 2013. Garcia's work is revered for his depiction of nature
and organic social interactions through an approach which he proudly refers to as "Abstract
Elegance".
As a visual poet, Garcia is
blessed with an affinity for looking at the world with artfully sensitive
eyes. He recognizes the innate beauty of
his environment, which he expresses through visual patterns and earthly blends of
color. These elements seem to map out the tone and nuances of his social
experiences and connections to his surroundings. As a result, his work is
essentially a perceptive symbolic response to the social interactions that
activate our everyday realities.
While many critics have
referred to Garcia's work as " highly moving", Garcia never intended
to create art with a specific purpose or goal in mind. Nevertheless, viewers regard
the exquisite subtleties of his
creations as a highly moving experience. As Garcia cautiously intertwines found
materials into his painterly, hand-crafted compositions, he is able to create a
sensuality and tangibility that emulates nature. Moreover, Garcia's awareness of
nature's character is distinctively shown through his use of color and imagery.
His trademark colors reveal an oxidized, yet muted quality, which creates a
tranquil and earthly feel. Also, his use
of intricately textured surfaces and organic shapes suggest a solidarity with
one's environment.
Garcia's art is deeply
inspired by the renowned film, "The Count of Monte Cristo". As the
film vividly captures the importance of perseverance, Garcia's embraces this
value as the driving force in his work. For this reason, each piece evokes a
riveting energy that is consistent with the vigor of man. Therefore, viewers
are encouraged to gaze beyond his murky colors to recognize the underlying beauty
of his uplifting lines and patterns.
