Manny Garcia

Visual Art – Los Angeles

My name is Manny Garcia, I was born in Los Angeles in 1984, and moved to Hollywood when I was around 3. Grew up the youngest of 3 brothers son of single mother who worked day and nights to support us. That gave me little choice but to watch all those lovely 80’s and 90’s cartoons, comics, movies, and TV shows and video games that sparked my creative flame. Art has always been a part of me, it has been a tool in fueling tough emotions and has inspired countless drawings in my life. Art has been my therapy. I don’t like to label my art in any particular category but I can best describe it as part modern, part urban, part pop, part abstract. I like to tackle emotions, ideas, feelings, and opinions in our society and culture and interpret them into expression. And some stuff I just like doing because I think it’ll look cool on a canvas. I hope to inspire and provoke different kinds of emotions and thought into my audience. We all wish to express ourselves more freely and dream of having a more prevailant voice. I choose to not only express but live in a state of mind to show my inner wishes, dreams, nightmares, love, hate, and humor and wish to share that with the world. I always love to show the simplest things in a raw, bold, more provoking manner. All while still instilling creative artistry that reaches all sorts of minds. Its not just about seeing, hearing, or thinking of Art but feeling it as well. "If the world is a blank canvas let your life be your paintbrush" -Manny Garcia http://www.facebook.com/MannyDGarcia
