EXPRESSIONS is his first presentation in Brooklyn at Micro Museum, 123 Smith Street, which has been "beguiling visitors with its interactive video displays, computer games, audio tricks and special effects." (Time Out NY) Guerra Garcia masterful contemporary oil paintings are moody while the canvases utilize a dark palette. Each luminous portrait's atmosphere is unique to the personality of the sitter; evoking attitude and emotion. His craftsmanship is mature and developed beyond his years.
