Patricia Garcia’s paintings subtly explore the
t
ransmission of culture between generationsof women. Through quiet, symbolic scenes,she evokes the emotional legacies passeddown through intuition, ritual, and presence.Her female figures often appear suspendedin time, carrying the weight of inheritedmemory. Symbols like the moon suggestcontinuity, protection, and the quiet strengthof matrilineal bonds. Garcia’s work honors theinvisible threads that connect women acrosstime—woven from resilience, care, and sharedemotional landscapes.
The Xoloitzcuintli—the sacred dog of
M
esoamerican civilizations, believed to guidesouls through the underworld—is a recurringpresence in García’s paintings, symbolizing abridge between worlds.
García’s art suggests layers of meaning, though she resists being labeled a purely
c
onceptual artist. Rather than reducing her works to words, she crafts intricatecompositions with technical mastery, inviting viewers to return to them again andagain, images to live with and contemplate over time.
