Born in 1965, Claudia paints in Bogotá, Colombia. In 1997 Brant Kingman invited her to visit the United States and exhibit her canvasses and works on paper. Kingman introduced García's to dealers and collectors across the country, from Baltimore in the east to Denver in the west, from Minneapolis in the north, to Naples in the south. He arranged two exhibits for Claudia in Chicago. In one, her work was paired with the great Latin painter Roberto Matta.

Claudia paints with an original palette, an unusually astute sense of design, and a personal iconography. These elements combine to produce an immediately identifiable body of work. All of her paintings and drawings tell stories that are as fascinating as the images themselves. Each story is a fragment of a mythology that seems to come to Claudia as easily as random thoughts come to others. The more you examine Claudia García's work the more you will discover how extraordinarily generous and profoundly connected it is to each of us.

Brant Kingman acts as agent for Claudia García O. If you would like more information about how to acquire or exhibit her work you may contact him at kingman@winternet.com
