Jose Garcia
Jose Garcia Fernandez was born in Motril in the province of Granada, Spain. From his earliest school days at Escuela de Artes y Oficios, he has been developing his interest in art.
He later moved to Barcelona where along with studying music for two years he attended the Escuela Massanas. Beginning in 1972 he studied at the Academia Sanvicens under Teresa Llacer. Her vibrant colour palette and brush strokes had a great influence on his artistic development.
In 1975 he immigrated to Canada where he continued painting and studying fine arts and design. Since then he attended classes at the Ontario College of Art, Central Technical School and George Brown College. After graduating with an honour degree in Commercial Art from George Brown College in 1980, he has been working as a graphic artist. Jose has continued to pursue his artistic career with intense dedication ever since.
In his work he combines the vibrant colours of the warm and sunny Mediterranean coast of Spain and the beauty of the Ontario landscape to give us the best of both countries.
Jose paints in Toronto, Wasaga Beach, Collingwood and South Georgian Bay area.
His works are found in private collections throughout Canada and Europe.
