Sergio Garcia was born in 1959 in Havana, Cuba. He immigrated to the United States with his family in 1961, settling in Union City, New Jersey, until 1969. In that same year, he moved to Miami, Florida, where since then he has lived and worked. Essentially self-taught artist, he embraced paintings as a medium of expression.
He has explored his past and present by means of art; constantly struggling with such issues as social, and political environments, the human condition and personal identity. As part of a new generation of artists, he challenges his own passion, obsessions and fears; the confrontation of dualities, of bi-cultural realities and deceptions.
His work is in museums, private and corporate collections throughout the U.S. and Europe. Garcia is a recipient of several awards and honors and has been the subject of numerous articles in major publications. He has lectured at universities and galleries, which have rendered him one of the leading Cuban-American artists in the United States.
