Carlos V. Garcia b. 1984 La Ceiba, Honduras is a self-taught painter, muralist, and designer. His practice centres on large-scale murals, acrylic and mixed-media paintings, he describes his style as ‘abstract realism’. Garcia began his journey as an artist in 2008 and soon after began a career hand-painting t-shirts in his home city. In 2013 he jumped into La Ceiba’s street art scene, creating large-scale, commissioned murals in key cultural sites across the city, and formed Urbano a collective based out of his studio and gallery space. In 2017, upon being commissioned by Morritt’s Resort to create a mural on their grounds and manage their retail shop he relocated to the Cayman Islands. Since then he has worked in the community on many major projects, including creating works for the Kimpton Seafire Resort, Margaritaville, Atlantis Submarines, and Cayman Turtle Centre, along with numerable charitable collaborations with institutions such as the Lighthouse School, the Cayman Boxing Association, and Prospect Primary School. Garcia was the single resident of the Cayman Islands to become a member of the Kaaboo Artist Crew Currently In October 9 2020 , carlos opened his own studio gallery where he enjoys showing his most recent works.
