The Art of Joe Ramiro Garcia

Some people believe that paintings have meanings. Although I employ images from cartoons, animals, and objects in my work, I do not believe in creating a specific narrative.

Instead I am sensitive to the charge or implication imagery lends to the painting’s surface. Currently I am using cartoon characters and other media images to conjure up new and old observations of the familiar.

I am inspired by our experiences with life and mortality.

Paintings are like walls. They remind me of the places I’ve lived around. Their surfaces recall kitchens, bedrooms, and backyards.

I believe that we possess more than five senses and I’m convinced these extra perceptional senses allow us to create and digest art. If there is a message in my painting, it’s that I’m not sure of anything and I’m okay with it. Link

Paper Enigma Machine

This machine is compatible with the original 3-rotor German Enigma used during World War II. For simplicity it omits the “ring settings” and plug board, but the primary workings of the machine are captured in this model. Great as an educational tool, or just for fun! Link
