Latin Inspired Colors

One of the motifs which Alfredo Garcia lends to his art are the beautiful Latin colors. His trademark use of rustic hues and natural tones gives his work a cultural richness, which reflects his personal identity and heritage. By integrating this personal imagery into his work, he gives his work a persona, making his art unique and individualized.

 

In "Groovy Celebrations", Garcia creatively reflects self-image through his use of colors. Along the textured border, he reveals enticing swirls of grassy greens with subtle blends of lime and brownish-reds. These earth tones traditionally represent masculinity and strength. As a result, these colors capture the artist's rugged perseverance to move forward through the tumultuous obstacles in his life. In contrast, Garcia also uses a few touches of saturated reds and blues over the quadrants of pictures. The red connotes a sense of passion which is integral to Latin culture, while the Blue represents the color of the sky and sea, a sign of stability.

A similar approach is revealed in the piece, "Eternal Sun". On the left side of the work, one sees stunning blends of warm green and yellow, revealing a sense of connectivity to the artist's Latin origins. These colors ultimately depict a desire to celebrate Latin heritage and its beauty through art. Toward the right side of the painting, the colors gradually transition into sky blues and healthy peaches. The exquisite combination of these colors produces an invigorating effect associated with the tropics.

By allowing his personal identity to permeate through the colors, Garcia allows his work to communicate intimately with his viewers. There is a passionate, yet sensitive presence that desires to make a connection.
