Cuba con Leche

A native of Miami, Florida, Garcia has been an artist since he first began to draw on a daily basis at the age of 9. During his teen years, Garcia discovered a strong connection to the mind and images of the Spanish master of surrealism, Salvador Dali. Obsessed with the incredible images and the technique of the master, Garcia had found his direction in art. He soon enrolled at the Art Institute of Miami under the direction of artist Elwin Porter, and began to develop his natural ability to draw. Cuba con Leche™ is a continuing series of paintings which pays homage to Rick Garcia's Cuban roots. In each painting, he combines wild, vivid images of Cuba with the beauty of the language. The images draw from the past and the present, combining old with the new to create what he likes to call "modern nostalgia".
