The art of Mauricio Garcés could be described as a stylized medley of uplifting visual narratives and poetry in visual form. His vibrant symbolic paintings evoke feelings of hope, fertility and eternity. In one series, characters and animal figures embrace each other enveloped in a graceful and continuous undulating design. In other paintings, figures dance among a joyful rhythmic display of flora and fauna and illuminate our symbiotic bond with nature. Mauricio’s beautifully orchestrated compositions are enhanced in breadth and depth by his versatile use of colors, a mélange of contrasting tactile surfaces, and acute spatial perception. Stimulating elements of fantasy and reality are wedded in perfect harmony and balance. Although at first glance Mauricio’s lyrical style may recall that of Symbolism, He expresses his own contemporary artistic vocabulary imbued with life-affirming metaphorical imagery.
