MARIO GARCIA

Mario Garcia is an Arabic Calligraffiti artist, born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. For the last 15 years, he has been connecting with the ancient script and transforming it in his own unique ways. His work has been shown at the Phoenix Art Museum, TedX, and various galleries in AZ. With Mexican, Italian and Native American roots, Mario’s aim is to bridge gaps between the richness of Islamic art and cultures that aren’t familiar with it.

Phoenix

“This mural depicts a portal going into the wall, and a Phoenix flying above the portal, rather than getting sucked in. The design is made up entirely of Arabic calligraphy and accents.”

Planters

“These two planters have different beautiful flowers and leaves on them, painted in a unique Arabic calligraphy to encapsulate the trees in between them.”
