Dalia Garcia

For me, bold and vibrant colors are an emotional synonym for happiness and exhilaration. Coming from a Latin background, of course I love color! I use them to create an easy, yet energetic, vibe in my acrylic paintings. Combining that with my passion for music, dance and travel, my dream world comes to life. My images are born from that love, and I explore the emotion they produce in me. I’m not trying to perfectly represent the subject matter, I’m in the pursuit of capturing the movement, spirt and sound of it. Painting the action of excitement and whimsical joy, combining it with a calming influence to celebrate a good feeling. We are bombarded all day long with news and information. I choose to unplug, live in the now, and focus on the serenity of positive energy. Each canvas a stage, presenting a show in full color!
