Espressionismo figurativo di Fidel Garcia, 1960

""L'arte esprime l'anima dell'umanità nel nostro comune viaggio attraverso i secoli". - Fidel Garcia

Nato a Città del Messico, Fidel Garcia è un pittore e creatore autodidatta.

All'età di sette anni, l'abilità artistica di Garcia divenne evidente a suo padre, un artista lui stesso, che incoraggiò e sostenne la sua passione per la creatività.

Ha sviluppato uno stile dimensionale internazionale unico che è fantasiosamente intriso del potere visivo di artisti rinascimentali come il maestro barocco spagnolo Diego Velazquez, il maestro americano John Singer Sargent, il maestro francese William Bouguereau, il maestro surreale spagnolo Salvador Dali ed il maestro di design austriaco Gustav Klimt.

Paul Gauguin: "Innanzi tutto, l'emozione!"

Nel nuovo stile di Paul Gauguin, il cloisonnisme o sintetismo, il colore si chiude in zone, così che la scena si presenta in superficie e si annulla ogni rapporto tra spazio e volumi.

A proposito dell'uso delle ombre, nel 1888, Gauguin scriveva a Émile Bernard:

- «Guardate i giapponesi, che pure dipingono in modo ammirevole e vedrete una vita all'aria aperta e al sole, senza ombre.

Usano i colori solo come combinazione di toni, di armonie diverse [...] voglio staccarmi quanto più è possibile da qualsiasi cosa che dia l'illusione di un oggetto, e poiché le ombre sono il trompe-l'oeil del sole, sono propenso ad eliminarle".

Aldo's conveys his love of the more formal time and finds a suited man is much more interesting, narratively speaking, than someone in sneakers and jeans.
