Alex Garcia was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. During his early years, he was immersed in painting, sculpture, and music. He pursued a BA in Architecture at the University of Buenos Aires, and later on a Master in Architecture, Design and Urbanism.

In 1988, he began designing furniture, and discovered the joy of playing with a wide range of materials.

A decade later, the owner of a well-known restaurant in San Francisco commissioned him to make the tables for a new tapas bar on Valencia street, called Ramblas.

Since the building already had its own original elements, such as columns, and hardwood floors, combined with contemporary lightning, his essential task was focused on reflecting that historical dialogue on the tables. He experimented with a variety of materials and techniques, which evolved into a combination of wood, metal, resin, glass, and other small eclectic ingredients.

Alex Garcia’s first tables were made with simple pieces of wood glued side by side.

He increasingly elaborated more intricate compositions, combined different textures, and created his own stains and effects on wood.  

The artist started showing his work at galleries, and promptly decided to dive into a more artistic venture. The next natural step was to bring his vision to the walls. 

The dialogue created by the combination of textures, colors, and dimensions evokes nature in its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression. At the same time, sensorial experiences and organic abstractions represent humans’ drive for interpreting reality and our mental processes. In a seemingly chaotic world the artist struggles to find inner serenity and to convey it in his work. Each piece becomes a unique instance of wholeness within the labyrinth of life
