As with so many of the great Masters, Garcia’s unique vision is an expression of his own spiritual journey. Garcia’s father also had a unique artistic talent, which he sacrificed in order to provide for his wife and seven children. When Garcia’s artistic ability manifested itself at the age of seven, his father supported and encouraged its development resulting in early recognition of Garcia’s talent during his childhood.
When he reached manhood, Garcia met and married Maria Violetta, who also supported his calling as an artist. With the pressures of providing for his young family, Garcia faced the same decision his father had faced decades earlier – whether to continue to pursue his artistic career with all of its instability and uncertainty or to abandon that calling in search of a financially stable profession.
Ultimately it was the support of his father, his wife and a brush with death in a bus accident which claimed the life of his closest friend – a fellow painter who was passionate about Garcia continuing his artistic career – that convinced him that he must continue to answer his true calling.
“For me, success as an artist means that I am able to live my life with creativity and joy.”
Over the last two decades, Garcia’s unique artistic vision has gained recognition throughout his native Mexico and in Spain, resulting in numerous exhibitions, awards and museum placements including the National Museum of Spain, the Puebla Historical Museum and the Amparo Museum in Mexico. The recent introduction of Garcia’s work to the United States is drawing further recognition.
