Artist bio:
Vanessa Garcia For the last seven years, Vanessa Garcia has been producing neo-expressionism paintings working with acrylic, oil and spray paint. Her theme today represents life matters of women’s day today lives with always a positive point of view. Motivating others around her and around her art. “Creativity is my passion”. Vanessa's goal with her artwork is to create an atmosphere of love and happiness with the vivacious colors she uses in her paintings. Vanessa's art is a style of late-modernist or early-postmodern painting and sculpture that emerged in the late 1970s. "With every piece of artwork that I create nothing else exists but that particular moment in time. Everything else disappears and I give my heart, my complete being, to the canvas in front of me." Vanessa Garcia was born and raised on the south side of Los Angeles, California. The oldest of 1st generation mexican american parents. She attended UCLA in Entertainment studies and performing arts. After working on the production side of the business in the last couple years in shows like Entertainment Tonight and The Insider, she returned to her love of artistry.
Domingo Zapata is a Spanish artist, writer, and fashion designer. He became a full-time artist in 2002 and sold his first major painting to George Soros in 2005. In 2017, he launched a fashion collection at New York Fashion Week and also published his first novel, The Beautiful Dream of Life Domingo Zapata uses his artistry to positively impact all that he meets – whether it’s a client personally visiting his studio, an aspiring artist who sees his work on social media, or a beneficiary of his philanthropy. Such interaction, he says, is what keeps him truly inspired. “I believe in this world,” “My clients are celebrities, and billionaires, and collectors; but they are also children in need, and charities, and everybody who walks through Brooklyn and sees my mural. This is my collector base. This is my job.” Zapata’s early impressions as an artist, coupled with several high-profile clients, first cultivated a reputation as an artist du jour. But after 15 years and creating a portfolio of art worth over $40 million, the Spaniard’s ever-increasing success – and the artistic vision underlying it – continues to paint a decidedly different picture. For years, Domingo Zapata has been, in a word, busy. It’s not just the paintings, which for the last decade have required perpetual work to keep any amount of inventory. It’s not the increasing number of sculpture and mural commissions that he fulfills or the expanding social media input. Nor is it his many exhibitions or the myriad number of collectors and clients, including Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Diana Picasso, the Missoni Family, and investment bank Goldman Sachs. Instead, it’s what Zapata has been doing with his own time. Whether it be collaborations with global figures such as Alejandro Sanz, designing clothes for his fashion shows, donating artwork to innumerable charity events, writing a novel, painting with Pope Francis, or serving as a guest speaker at the United Nations to advocate for art education, Zapata has done it all.
