Fortunato Garcia - The Wild Within

Original contemporary-expression work, executed in mixed media on platex, combining image transfer, acrylic paints, and dry pastel.

The overlay of different techniques creates a surface rich in contrasts, where areas of material, wear, transparencies, and gestural marks intersect. The background image, inspired by decorative patterns and floral motifs, establishes a dialogue between the rustic and ancestral character of the animal figure and a contemporary aesthetic.

The work is presented in an elegant, finely crafted wooden frame, with elements in aged gold, which complements the vintage and contemporary aesthetics of the painting.

Since late June 2026, the artist has sold 13 works through Catawiki to private collectors in Spain, Italy, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, and Denmark—a reflection of the growing interest in his visual language across different European markets.
