Fidel Garcia (Mexican painter, 1960)

The familiar and the fantastic collide vibrantly in the work of Fidel García.

The painter fuses the visceral and the ethereal, juxtaposing the human body, photorealistically rendered, with colorful abstract expressionist forms.

The art of Fidel Garcia blends figurative realism and abstract expressionism.

His paintings call upon the viewer to experience the concurrency of our corporeal and spiritual selves, the coincidence of reality and fantasy, and the simultaneous existence of the physical and the metaphysical.

Rather than simply asking for acknowledgement of these diametric forces, Garcia’s paintings assist us in finding the harmony and balance between them.

Each image that emerges from his evolving series of canvases explores an unexpected and uncharted inner and outer world of human imagination.
