ARTIST STATEMENT:
I wrote this poem in Paris a few days after we heard the outcome of the U.S. presidential election. It was a grief stricken day for some and a jubilant day for others. For one who was born in another country and raised in America, I believe that by listening to and learning from one another we can make our world a far better place than it is today. With the changes happening in all corners of the globe, will come clarity. I do not agree with many things that are happening today, however, I know that we will find a way to be better, stronger and more compassionate as a people and nation and send that message to the rest of the world that is in pain today. On my Facebook page, it asks, "What is your religion?" My answer: love, peace and freedom. Having said that, I believe that we have to use our brains and our hearts in a positive and compassionate way. I hope my poem will touch a cord in people's hearts to learn to listen to one another and search for a way to help make our world a place of peace and prosperity for all."
A TIME TO HEAL
It’s time, my friends.
It’s time.
That magical dimension of time
When we cannot stop the moon from dying
Or cage the sunrise at its birth.
We reach for clothes of new colors.
Poised, ready for action,
For a new day,
A new way.
Some succumb to the winds of change.
Some win to make the change.
Yet, the joyful and crestfallen
Live in the same house.
How, you ask, can we live together?
How can we release our fears,
Our ego
Our grief,
Our indignation
Our provocation?
I....am here to tell you.
You there, with the gun in your hand
Embrace your neighbor
The one who fears you.
And you, with the weapon of your mind
Embrace your neighbor
The one who fears your words.
Take my hand, you,
Who fears a thought different from yours.
Feel the pulse of the one
You think not right as you.
And you, who feels betrayed,
Listen to the heart of your betrayer,
Who thinks you betrayed him.
Because in the end
We are all the same.
Take this moment to take a hand
And look into that face,
Whatever color or thought it has.
Show a bow of respect.
Those of you who want to shine from sea to sea
Do something magnificent!
Offer kindness and generosity
Even if you fear it will not be appreciated
Even if you feel they do not deserve it
Do it any way.
BE BIG!
Those of you with power
Show the heart of a people
A city
A nation
A heart so vast the entire world can fit into it!
You asked for change?
Here it is, my friends.
Each of you wants more from the other.
But how can you ask
If you don’t give yourself?
How can you hear
If you don’t listen?
Each of you wants love, joy, peace, serenity
In your own way
On your own day.
It’s time, my friends.
It’s time.
A time to heal.
To reap.
To change.
It begins
In your heart.
your mind,
your eyes,
your lips,
your hands…
Take my hand and lead me.
Take my hand and follow me.
Let’s hold one another in awe
In love,
In light
Let’s protect one another
our home, our earth, our sky.
You wonder,
Who am I to ask this of you?
I am the child of dreamers
The pioneers of faith
Of hard work,
Inspiration
Imagination
Courage
Resilience.
I am mother, daughter, sister,
Lover, partner, friend,
I am red, black, pink, white, brown, yellow.
I am father, son, brother,
Lover, partner, friend
I live in a world of latitude,
A meridian of brightness and possibility.
My ancestors strove to unite
my north, my south, my east, my west
For me, for you, for us.
Let’s take this step together.
Let’s dissolve our fears.
Let’s jump!
Into another sunrise.
I have one wing.
You have another.
Together, we can fly!

- Water WingsBy Rick GarciaLocated in Chicago, ILSize: 18" X 24" Image size: 15" X 20" Archival paper and archival ink Edition size: 10 Signed and numbered in pencil by the artist Print is sold matted in a 2.5" - 3" mat RICK GARCIA BIOGRAPHY; Photography has been part of my creativity throughout my life and more recently has become influential in my abstract work on canvas. The magical shapes of water gracefully floating or scattering in mid-air reveals the true god-like essence of nature. I am fascinated studying these images of bright tiny mercury-like globes, silky trails, dancing droplets and crystal clear languid sheets. Rick Garcia was born in Havana, Cuba, and very soon after, his parents relocated to Miami, Florida. He was always encouraged to follow his dream of pursuing and developing his talent in art. In later years he found a deep-rooted connection to surrealism, especially the work of Salvador Dali. Garcia had become obsessed with the unique images and amazing technique of the Spanish painter and he eventually traveled to Port Lligat, Spain to visit the home and surroundings of his mentor. After years of attending the Art Institute of Miami, where he refined his artistic vision in drawing and painting, he was soon earning an income from published illustrations. Garcia has enjoyed a rich and diverse career starting with the hit TV show "Miami Vice" commissioning him to create a mural on the side of a three story building, and used his paintings for interior shots. Apart from a growing number of private commissions, his distinctive images were commissioned by The United Nations Postal Administration in 1998 and 2003. His stamps brought awareness to the growing extinction of the rainforest and its inhabitants, and followed with the 50th Anniversary of the World Health Organization, bringing awareness to the vanishing supply of freshwater, where it earned him the prestige of the most beautiful stamp series of 2003. Garcia was chosen as an "Absolut Artist of the 90s" in the popular vodka ad campaign and with his second piece Absolut Electric, this further drew worldwide attention. 1998, 1999, and 2001 garnered him the distinction of official artist to The Grammy Awards where his creations influenced the look of the live broadcast and graced the covers of the official program book, CDs, posters, apparel, and other various items. His work included portraits of stars such as Destiny's Child, Ricky Martin, Coldplay, Santana, Celia Cruz...Category
