Fortunato Garcia's original mixed-media painting 'VESTIGE' (2026) on canvas, 120 x 80 cm, in abstract expressionist style with ochre, brown, black, green and turquoise, hand-signed, from Portugal, depicting animal forms emerging through layered textures.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This abstract work invites the observer to discover shapes that emerge from matter and the overlap of layers. Among textures, transparencies and zones of erosion, the presence of a bovine insinuates itself, almost ghostly, that seems to arise and disappear as the gaze travels through the composition. The palette of ochres, browns, blacks, greens and turquoise blues creates an environment simultaneously earthy and ethereal, evoking the wear of time, memory and the force of nature.
Technique:
Collage of impressions on Chinese artisanal paper, applied on canvas. Use of acrylic paints modified with alcohol and water, exploring dispersion, transparency and sedimentation reactions. The surface is subsequently subjected to controlled chemical corrosion processes, which intensify texture and chromatic complexity, making each work unique and unrepeatable.
Fortunato Garcia's work has received a very positive reception among international collectors. Only in June 2026, the artist sold 10 works through Catawiki, to private collectors in Spain, Italy, France, Germany and the Netherlands — a reflection of the growing interest in his visual language across different European markets.
