Patricia Garcia’s paintings subtly explore the transmission of culture between generationsof women. Through quiet, symbolic scenes,she evokes the emotional legacies passed down through intuition, ritual, and presence. Her female figures often appear suspended in time, carrying the weight of inheritedmemory. Symbols like the moon suggest continuity, protection, and the quiet strength of matrilineal bonds. Garcia’s work honors the invisible threads that connect women across time—woven from resilience, care, and shared emotional landscapes.
The Xoloitzcuintli—the sacred dog of Mesoamerican civilizations, believed to guide souls through the underworld—is a recurring presence in García’s paintings, symbolizing a bridge between worlds.
García’s art suggests layers of meaning, though she resists being labeled a purely conceptual artist. Rather than reducing her works to words, she crafts intricate compositions with technical mastery, inviting viewers to return to them again and again, images to live with and contemplate over time.
