While visiting the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in early June, I was introduced to the work of Antonio Lopez Garcia. The colors, the light, the scale, the detail - his work is brilliant. Many artists are inspired by and subsequently capture scenes from "every day life" but Garcia stands out from the crowd in a huge way. His passion for the subtle and demanding beauty of everything around him is strongly conveyed through his art - and it made me think of the extraordinary people I have come to know in my life that have a similar gift...People who live in the moment, in such a way that every moment becomes an exotic and intoxicating experience. It is quite a talent - whether you express it through art or through your every day interactions with the people around you - to be able to notice that all you are surrounded by is extraordinary.
