About Cecilio Garcia

I am a local Chicago Artist residing in Humboldt Park.

Ever since I can remember, the world of creating has been an immense part of my daily lifestyle. As a child, I continuously looked for ways to express myself and used art as an escape from my busy home environment. I can recall focusing on sketching portraits and facial expressions and found joy in that practice. There was something about the various details that faces can be made up of that was extremely enthralling to me as a child and continues to be for me now. I studied Art at Wright College, however, the majority of my techniques are completely self taught.

​My passion for capturing facial expressions and emotion is what I devote my time in the studio to, as I find that we, as humans, are always searching for human connection. I believe we find that connection in the emotions that we demonstrate. Because of this, it is through my art, that I hope others can find and feel the sentiment that the canvas calls to mind. The mixture of colors represents the relationships that humans share through feelings. I find that my way of using a unique and vibrant color palette is a strategy that I follow in order for me to create beauty out of what once was as single color.  
​
Ultimately, with my unique mixture of coloring and attention to detail, I am able to create an interconnection with my audience, as a large focus of my work is exhibited through the most powerful part of the human face: the eyes.   

I love working with clients with their ideas for gifts, murals, and personalized art pieces.
