The Works of Adriana M. Garcia
“I believe in the social importance of art. It is the most accessible way to protest, love, heal and learn. The way we share our stories and the voices we choose to manifest our passion, hurt, anger, sadness, love, hope, and heritage have the power to fortify our human relationship with one another. Understanding emotions increases the quality of our existence in the multicultural landscape we occupy. Through my artwork and paintings, I provide the viewer a visual articulation of emotions.” --- Adrianna Garcia

The hummingbird is the only bird that can travel backwards and sideways. According to the artist, “It makes the bird a natural time traveler.” In this painting, Nuptials, the hummingbird represents the bride and groom’s travels through the end of time together.  The bride and groom will continue to nurture one another like the hummingbird and the nectar.
