Virginia Garcia Costa

Art is like Nature. Every artwork needs love, time, and patience to understand it.

Saatchi Art Curation: "Virginia Garcia Costa Infuses Love and Joy Into Every Artwork. Inspired by the natural elements, Argentinian artist Virginia Garcia Costa carefully manipulates the material on her canvas to mimic the appearance of water drops. Each bright waterfall of color immediately induces feelings of joy and serenity".

Her colourful series is inspired by light and vibrant colors as a way of immersing oneself in joy and hope. When viewed slightly askance, the perpendicular lines give the piece a fresh sense of three-dimensionality.

The artist trained as a painter at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires.
She has been shortlisted for the Rise Art Prize in London, UK and has gone on to receive awards for her art in Switzerland from Arte Binningen, p.i.n.k.elefant and Suisse-Art.

Virginia has exhibited at The Other Art Fair (Virtual Edition), The Other Art Fair in London, Galerie Katapult in Basel, Basel Art Center in Switzerland and Art Innsbruck in Austria. Public and private collectors in the US, Canada, Australia, Europe, Middle East, Latin America and Asia have bought her work.
