When he is not gardening—his profession in Montevideo—Alexandro Garcia draws, using a ruler, markers, ballpoint pens, and pencils, on whatever surfaces come to hand, such as the back of an almanac. He most often depicts fantastical cities—seemingly weightless or on the verge of launching into the infinite cosmos—and ballets of constellations coming to meet them. Throughout his work, there is a sense of an “elsewhere” open to our projections and to the colonization of a new humanity: “We are not alone.” His work can be related to mediumistic art in the sense that, according to him, forces are at play of which he is merely the instrument: “I am a channel that absorbs messages from the cosmos.”
