Downtown Chiado 2015 Draws Global Artists

We are delighted to introduce emerging artist Ilsa E. Garcia, one of the featured artists in the acclaimed Downtown Chiado 2015 global art exhibition. This prestigious international event will take place from February 7-21, 2015 in Lisbon, Portugal at Meeting Art Gallery located in the Arts District of Downtown Chiado. Garcia is an up and coming artist from Aibonito, Puerto Rico. She is dedicated to her craft and has several pieces with the Guia de Leonardo. Gonzalez is also a noted poet and published author, her poetry book Gentle Touch I is part of a future trilogy. She is a participating artist in the Downtown Chiado 2015 international showcase in Lisbon this February.

This is the second edition to showcase an outstanding selection of contemporary artists from around the world in the Downtown Chiado Arts District of Lisbon, marking the 5th global exhibition to date that has been organized by Meeting Art Gallery. The vernissage and opening day of DC2015 is February 7, 2015 at 5pm local time. The gallery recognizes Garcia’s art pieces have an outsider style with popular appeal. Her work ranges from paintings of detailed scenes, landscapes and portraits, to pencil renderings and sketches.

Garcia is an expressionist artist with a unique style that is motivated by the mood of her subjects. Her pieces represent places, people or feelings that stay in her memory strongly enough to be captured for posterity. Garcia is now at the stage of her career where she is expanding into art markets such as Lisbon, London, Boston, New York and Mexico. She has been featured in Saatchi Art, The Art Connection, Best Poets 2014, International Who’s Who, World Poetry Movement, and Who’s Who in American Poetry.
