About Gemma Garcia

ARTIST BIO Gemma Garcia was born in Spain in 1971. In 1986 she entered as a student of a Private Art Academy in Valladolid, where she studied classical art. She studied at that Academy of Art for over five years. After living in several cities due to her father’s profession (the whole family were changing homes depending on their father’s jobs) Gemma lived the most time in Castellon - Valencia. Living in Valencia Gemma has always been fascinated by the sculptures created with cardboard during the celebration of the “Fallas” a cultural and traditional celebration in Valencia where “The masters falleros” are part of an important yearly competition of big sculptures. Her interest was also due to the material used in these sculptures (paper). The traditional ones were also created with paper and as a glue they used flour and water mix. Gemma wen to the Cultural Association of Fine Arts of Castellon, and there she meets her “mentor”, the Sculptor Agustin Ahis, specialized in wood and clay. During this time Gemma began to be interested in combining Art and Therapy. She studied the Diploma of Gestalt Therapy and conducted research about the use of art and therapy with the local department of fire and rescue. She worked for the Spanish government in the Emergency field for 15 years. Her second master’s degree is in Ericksonian Hypnosis from the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Valencia - Spain, in 2006. In 2010 Gemma moved to Australia and founded with his husband Yaro Starak, the Gestalt Art Therapy centre. In 2014 she obtained the Diploma of Visual arts and since then she did not stop learning techniques, creating Arts, and participating in Group exhibitions and competitions. Also, she received several awards for her participation at the Brisbane City Council ARTFORCE Awards. In 2016 she was the winner Best ENERGEX Cabinet 2015. Urban Smart Projects. Her main work is related to “Papier Mache” sculptures, she believes that Art can support climate change, when using recycled materials, and she also loved creating artworks with the print making technique. Gemma is, most of the time, interested in sharing her Spanish culture and Latin culture in Australia. Since 2016, Gemma is the Curator and the Art Groups coordinator of exhibitions related to Spanish /Latin artists. For every project, Gemma invites Australian artists to reflect and create artworks, performances, in response to a famous artist like Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso or Vincent Vangogh, and then create an Art group exhibition. Gemma’s interest is to continue creating art, and her future project will be participating in a “master papier Mache sculptures master class with the Falleros” in Valencia (Spain) and sharing her creations with the Australian public in future exhibitions.
