Virginie Garcia

is a multimedia artist based in Seattle, whose quiet yet observant nature allows her to notice the subtle intricacies that many overlook.

With a mind that thrives on complexity, she presents an aura of seriousness, shaped by a cautious approach to life. Known for her no-nonsense advice—straight to the point and devoid of sugar coating—Virginie is someone you can turn to when you seek authenticity and depth. Though she treasures her long-term relationships, she navigates a small circle of trusted friends, complemented by an expansive network of acquaintances. While she may embody a moody and sarcastic personality at times, those close to her understand that these traits stem from a rich tapestry woven together with ambition, loyalty, and an appreciation for life's imperfections.

Her journey into the world of art finds its roots in cherished childhood moments spent with her grandfather, an esteemed artist from Sicily and France. These formative years ignited her passion for artistry as she quietly observed him bringing the beauty of serene seascapes to life. The essence of this early exposure has shaped Virginie’s work, allowing her to express emotions and narratives through a meticulous lens. Each of her scars tells a story—reminders of her journey—and she embraces them as part of her unique narrative rather than flaws to be hidden.

Relocating to the United States in 1995 marked a critical turning point for Virginie. Leaving her beloved family behind in Cannes, she embarked on an ambitious quest to adapt to new languages and traditions while forming deep, supportive connections that mirrored the familial bonds she had known. This metamorphosis carved out her identity and allowed her experiences to flourish in ways she never anticipated, grounding her in the strength of change.

Today, Virginie finds solace in her home studio, which serves as a creative sanctuary where inspiration can breathe freely. In this cherished space, she channels her complex emotions and insights into her art, weaving together a narrative that transcends words to capture the essence of the human experience. Her work speaks to the beauty of imperfections and the wisdom gleaned from life’s challenges, making each piece not just a creation, but a chapter in her ongoing story.
