Artist Tour
Join local artist Diana Garcia for a special perspective on the exhibition Cut Up/Cut Out: Photomontage and Collage.
Diana Garcia is a Palm Beach County-based analog collage artist whose work breathes new life into forgotten imagery and textures sourced from books and magazines. With meticulous attention to detail and a passion for tactile creation, Diana crafts compositions that blur the line between reality and imagination.
Born in Bogotá, Colombia, her artistic journey began during her studies in interior architecture at Jorge Tadeo Lozano University, where she discovered the expressive potential of black and white magazine clippings. Since then, Diana has honed her skills through international experiences, including a university exchange program in Chihuahua, Mexico, and studies in graphic design in London, United Kingdom. Delving into the depths of analog collage, Diana explores the interplay of colors and textures, often incorporating origami to add depth and complexity to her work. Through her innovative approach and dedication to the craft, Diana Garcia continues to push the boundaries of analog collage, captivating audiences with her unique storytelling and technique.
