In 2014, Garcia was named one of Houston's Top 10 Painters for 2014 by the Houston Press Editorial, and 2016 Hunting Prize finalist.
Garcia describes his style as abstract expressionist using oils and acrylics on canvas. Through years of life experiences and creative ideas in 2015, he released his first book One Ton Goldfish: In Search of the Tangible Dream, a retrospective of his seven series in which Garcia's personal truth carried some universal meaning.
*Leonardo da Vinci Quote: To develop a complete mind: Study the science of art; study the art of science. Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything you see.
If you are looking to explore art the Texas Art Supply holds classes as well as visiting local studios and galleries.
Garcia defines success not by monetary value, but by respect. Evolving your mind, having respect for yourself, and by people speaking highly of you when you leave the room. With respect you can do anything.
