Mercedes Garcia Gallardo

Mercedes Garcia Gallardo is a Spanish painter originally from Malaga. It was in his hometown that she started studying art, before leaving to Barcelona, where she perfectionated his training in workshops of artists Manolo Hugué (sculpture and enamelling) and Manuel Massana (drawing and painting). In their school, she attended various courses on the techniques of stained glass, primitive art, engraving, symbolism of the sacred and the history of art.

The artistic reflection revolves around the female figure, his main source of inspiration. His canvases, made of pieces of paper, canvas, ofphrases cut out of magazines, and scraps of poetry, are a support to pose his sensitive portraits, kaleidoscopes of feelings and emotions.
