Artist Statement:
Being an artist is an endless
soul searching quest.
I create out of need and joy
which reflects in my work. I
lose myself from all mundane
feelings and then I find
myself in a whole new inner
world of symbols, figures,
forms, color and expression of
my ultimate intimacy.
To be self-taught is an
advantage rather than a
hindrance. If there is a rule
in formal training, it can be
broken and taken to another
level. All art communicates in
my opinion, even if it’s
simply to capture the beauty
of the moment. My art speaks
in different languages to
those who are open to receive
their own personal message in
it.
I often think about the value
of art in our culture. We tend
to value things that are rare
and have a style and
personality of their own. As
an artist, I am conscious of
why I create art the way I do.
I am looking for a meaningful
way to represent not only the
world I live in, but also, the
way I perceive my own inner
soul. The art becomes not just
about the artist, but also
about the viewer.

| Your Personal Biography |
Cesar Garcia was born in Havana, Cuba in 1961; his first encounter with the arts was through his uncle, a Cuban Artist who learned his trade at the world-renowned San Alejandro Academy of Arts. Garcia moved to the United States in 1969 and has never forgotten those moments that as a child he experienced in his uncle’s studio: images that live in him and are always a part of him.
Garcia’s passion for the arts has always lived in his heart and soul, every minute of his life. His fascination with the great masters has helped him better understand the need to express himself in a totally different form. His inclination is unique. His work is of a figurative nature in a surrealist style, which marks a panorama of complex creativity yet, simple presentation of form and composition. His work touches the inner soul of various cultures with all its ethnic influences. His attack upon the painting’s surface is conceived after a process of inspiration from within. He analyzes his feelings and state of mind that preoccupies the artistic arrangement of forms, inner language and symbols. Garcia describes his work as being the ultimate antithesis of classical form. He paints with his soul and imagination and tells a story on every single occasion.
His work can be found in several public collections including the Division of Cultural Affairs (State Art Collection) Tallahassee, Florida, Housatonic Museum of Art in Bridgeport, Connecticut, University of Miami (Casa Bacardi) Institute for Cuban and Cuban-America Studies, Village of Wellington (Art in public Places) and many other institutions, foundations and recognized collections rendering him an important Cuban-American artist of his generation.
