The Power of Emotions in Art

Art has often been revered as a powerful tool to convey emotion. Sometimes people who struggle to bear the weight of their thoughts turn to art as a way of expressing themselves. In this way, art can be perceived as a type of outlet for emotions. Moreover, the art does not necessarily have to express negative feelings, but rather a whole array of dispositions such as confusion, excitement or bliss. As a result, when mere words seem to pale in comparison to the beauty of creation, art is a wonderful way to share one's feelings with the world.

Alfredo Garcia's body of works are an exquisite example of art's propensity for expression. In each piece, he documents a part of his life or a powerful emotional state, which fuels the color and composition into a stirring marvel. In his piece, "Dragon Lion Repousse and Chasing", Garcia exhibits strength and power. The starkly contrasting black and whites as well as the freeing brushstrokes reveal the fervor of rising up from life's challenging obstacles. The dragon-like form is evocative of Garcia's ferocity and vigor as he transforms as both an artist and human.

In his work, "Mermaid Goddess", Garcia expresses feelings of bliss and playfulness. There are a variety of child-friendly patterns and designs and the central mermaid provides a symbol of myth and the sublime, a sign of our ability to dream about the supernatural. As a result, this piece lifts the viewer into a more imaginative realm, evoking feelings of happiness and wonder. Also, the use of woodsy yellows and sandy beiges reinforces humanity's connection to the earth, providing a celebration of our god-given humanity.

Garcia also expresses poignant emotion in his piece, "Observatory Life". The electric metallic blues and golds over a violently textured surface communicates feelings of disturbance and rage. Garcia also creates piercing lightning bolts, which fiercely compliment the metal ornaments attached to the border. Overall, these elements create a sense of chaos, capturing the energy of the artist's mind.
