Julio Garcia's birthplace, Baja California, Mexico, defines his artistic practice and connection to nature. Garcia's work examines the complexity of human experiences. He depicts vibrant, disassembled figures that possess an energy the emanates from the canvas itself. In his world of imagery, emotions rule and new ideas emerge. Garcia describes his work as surrealistic with ancient overtones. His work is rich with colour and texture, possessing a tactile, three dimensional quality that fosters a connection between spectator and subject. In this regard, Garcia's vibrant compositions are a true celebration of humanity. Julio Garcia's work is exhibited widely and appears in the permanent collections of the Museum of Latin American Art, the Mexican Museum, and the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. "My paintings come from deep within, they are an invitation to travel... It is not the movement from ocean to desert, but the vast journey of the human experience." — Julio Garcia
