OSCAR GARCIA
Artist Statement
Oscar Garcia is a self-taught artist from the inner west of Sydney. Born 1979 in Lima Peru, he arrived in Australia at the age of ten. His landscape paintings commonly depict images of familiar sights and local places of interest, which he surveys and often photographs for reference before rendering a final arrangement of oil on canvas.
His paintings aim to reveal the psychology behind the scenes he depicts, tuning into the states of mind that motivate and define us as individuals and as a society. Further still, delving into how these states of mind come to be, how they develop, become accepted, often unchallenged, settling into the norm. His subject matter is inspired by a fascination with how human complexity is reflected in the landscape through the scope and sensitivity of perception and in particular; how our visions and emotions ultimately transform our reality both conceptually and physically, all becoming the landscape we choose to live in.
