Bio
Jonny Garcia is a Brazilian-Canadian multi-disciplinary artist. From an early age, driven by a passion for self-expression, Garcia immersed himself in various disciplines, including dance, mime, acrobatics, magic, and hypnotism, before delving into the visual arts.
Since 2019, Garcia has dedicated his efforts to exploring digital collages, accumulating a body of work comprising over 600 pieces. Garcia’s collages have been featured in various exhibitions, including the solo exhibition at Space and Place Conference 2025 exhibit at McMaster University’s Centre for Continuing Education in Hamilton, Ontario, Sociedade de Colagem Brasileira Magazine, Impromptu IV exhibit at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod, Corporeal Gestures: An International Exhibition of Contemporary Collage curated by Clive Knights in 2022, and the Cut/Paste/Resist pop-up Exhibition at the University of New Brunswick Art Centre. In 2020, one of Garcia's collages was incorporated into a school program in the city of Kingston, Canada. Furthermore, the Schwitters’ Army Collection of Collage Art at MERZ Gallery has included one of Garcia's collages in its collection.
In addition to his artistic pursuits, Garcia holds two computer degrees, along with a degree in psychoanalysis coupled with clinical experience.
Artist Statement
Self-taught visual artist and dancer
Since an early age, I have always been involved with the arts, driven by a natural sense of curiosity. I enjoy exploring things on my own, testing ideas, and discovering my own voice. As a self-taught artist, I am constantly seeking new ways to create, explore, and express myself.
The decision to use digital media over other mediums stems from a desire for creative freedom. Digital tools empower me to experiment, modify, and seamlessly adapt visual symbols, creating a space for unrestricted exploration. Despite this choice, my works are brought to life through an exclusive monoprint on various non-traditional substrates, including metal, wood, and fabric.
I explore the process of eliminating contrast, a common issue when juxtaposing images. While each element remains recognizable, they’re distilled to their essential meaning. The human figure, especially bodies, hands, and faces, frequently appears in my work, blended with abstract forms. This fusion of diluted elements creates a visual synergy that transcends the sum of its parts, resulting in a cohesive new image.

Artwork
Dominated by bold colours and subtle blending of components, my work deliberately blurs the lines between painting, digital art, and collage juxtaposition.
