Maraquero

Originally from Colombia, David George Garcia came to New Zealand for a better opportunity.

David first became involved with Make/Shift Spaces with the Nile St ArtWall, helping to paint the many wooden shapes.

For me art is a way to escape reality have fun and just relax. 

The painting I made represents the music and instruments of my culture and how it makes people feel.

I made it colourful so it represents how music is full of energy and so enjoyable. 

Huge thanks to NEL (Nelson Electricity Limited) for supporting our artists to transform their boxes!
