Josefa García

(1965 El Durazno San Vicente, Gro.)

After more than twenty years of painting and print making, Josefa decided to study for a degree in visual arts at the Autonomous University of Chilpancingo in her native state of Guerrero. However, she has developed her career in Oaxaca.

She is restless and full of curiosity and energy that drives her to plumb the numerous, varied topics that interest her. She gets to know them first and then her innate way of questioning them enables her to extract every crumb of information that she can use to transfer her vision to paper or canvas, making a genuine effort to translate her understanding of the object into meanings that the viewer can capture and assimilate.
