Walfrido Garcia was born in Manila, Philippines, on November 23, 1966. The son of artist Edgardo Garcia,
he learned at an early age to use his God-given talent to evoke beautiful emotions by translating visions
from his imagination to a permanent form. Through years of apprenticeship and formal art education, he
quickly learned how to manipulate light, form, color and detail. He has been teaching art since the age of
seventeen, and he is a widely sought after instructor/demonstrator in the Bay Area. In his mid-twenties,
the future looks very promising for this talented man.
Having spent most his life near the ocean, he combines his two most cherished activities: surfing and
painting. Through his first-hand knowledge of the sea, he is able to capture its realism while his style
emphasizes its romance, mystery and grandeur.
Considering himself a "romantic realist," Walfrido uses an unusual style that pays close attention to the
delicacies of light and color. Light is the most influential element in his work, reflecting the artist's
relationship with God. When viewing his work, one gets swept away to a place where the light caresses
the gentle, rolling waves as they greet the powder-soft sand.
Walfrido uses his skills as a photographer and videographer to aid in his creative pursuits. In the first
stages of his work, he forms the relationship between light, color and shapes. The next colors are glazed
on with meticulous brush strokes to form details. When all is done, the highlights are applied to give the
work a special glow. This makes his work appealing to the connoisseur as well as the first-time buyer.
Recognized as a "Master" of seascape art and is one of Hawaii's leading artists, he lives in the island of
O'ahu, with his wife Patti, and his two daughters, Rose, and Sonja.
