The Beauty of the Artist's Hand

In our contemporary era, we are seeing an increasing amounts of installation art, photography and digital media. As more artists are using technology and non-traditional forms of expression, art today is often less of a physical craft  and more of a product. Moreover, we are seeing more art that is less commercialized and more conceptually driven. This is because there is a greater emphasis on creating art to elicit ideas as opposed to creating home décor. With this change in approach, we lose a vital aspect of the traditional artistic methods: the humanizing touch of the artist's hand.

Alfredo Garcia's values the sincerity associated with showing evidence of his artistic process through his work. Each of his pieces have an expressive quality, revealing the energy and passion from each brush stroke or application. As a result, the viewer sees Garcia's artistic journey through the pathways of his hand. The effect is a genuine and moving. 

Garcia's recent piece, "The Waves of Life", is a breathtaking reflection of this authentic approach.  He allows each brush stroke to coincide with nature's sublime grace, creating a vividly peaceful effect.  Also, his involvement his further emphasized through the ridges of paint left at the edge of each brush stroke. This unrestrained use of texture affirms the hand-painted quality of this piece.

Garcia also reveals a rich evidence of touch through the painterly approach in "Mermaid Goddess". In this piece, Garcia depicts graceful lines and textures to transmit a sense of tranquil movement. Through these rich stylistic approaches, Garcia takes his viewers through a fantastic visual experience,  reminding us that beauty in art can still be physically driven.
