Acrylic on canvas | 18” x 24”
Alone is a striking meditation on selfhood, isolation, and resilience. In this powerful piece, a nude figure sits in still defiance—eyes closed, jaw set—surrounded by swirling textures and reaching golden hands that seem to tempt, haunt, or beckon. The subject, rendered in stark white against a richly textured red and black backdrop, radiates quiet strength and resistance.
The background—an energetic spiral of India ink layered with coffee stains—suggests internal chaos or cosmic pressure. The golden tendrils, delicately patterned and snake-like, become metaphors for memory, fear, longing—or even the self. Red, raw, and full of heat, the backdrop elevates the emotional intensity of the work, anchoring the viewer in a moment of confrontation and endurance.
Painted in acrylic on canvas and measuring 12” x 24”, this mixed-media work is part of Garcia’s Human Series. It is sold professionally mounted and includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
