Queer people often find home in unconventional places. For Garcia, he found his home in the pages of comic books and Sci-fi novels. His work is derived from this yearning to find a home and/or space to exist. Drawing on the power of science fiction and the ambiguity of abstraction, he creates realities that are free from the constraints of this world. Garcia draws on ideas from quantum mechanics, cosmology and astrophysics in the creation of these imagined spaces and narratives that speculate about our place in the universe. These grand ideas are couched in bold, vibrant, and colorful graphic prints, paintings and installations that draw inspiration from marvel comics, manga, Japanese prints and western animation. Garcia's work strives to transform our notion of existence and recontextualize our ideas of space and time. Ultimately striving to ask questions about the universe that might not have straightforward answers while reorienting the notion of space, exploration, and of one's place in the vastness of the universe.
