A lot of color and creativity characterize Fernando Garc\u00eda de Alba's works of art. He's a young Mexican-Italian artist who, at 30 years old, blends his Mexican roots and Roman blood into his works.<\/p>\n
FERNANDO GARC\u00cdA DE ALBA<\/strong> He's a huge soccer and Juventus fan. His favorite color is green, he's fascinated by nature and the beauty of flowers and he loves imposing structures like the Eiffel Tower.<\/p>\n FERNANDO GARC\u00cdA DE ALBA<\/strong> Fernando discovered his passion for art at an early age. During family reunions, he would draw portraits and then gift them to each of his assistants. A crucial influence of this love of art has been his family, especially his father, the Mexican Ambassador to Italy.<\/p>\n CARLOS GARC\u00cdA DE ALBA<\/strong> That's why his family has encouraged him to take classes, to continue to improve his use of artistic tools and technique.<\/p>\n Recently, \u201cLa Cucaracha,\u201d a Mexican restaurant in Rome, offered its walls for this young artist to display his works. In fact, as a sort of tribute to the restaurant, the main piece is a cockroach.<\/p>\n For Fernando's dreams, the sky is the limit\u2014way beyond the height of the Eiffel Tower.<\/p>\n Daniel D\u00edaz Vizzi<\/p>\n Translation: Claudia Torres<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" September 13, 2020.

\nDo you listen to music while you draw?

\nArtist
\nFor me it's the Eiffel Tower. You like the Eiffel Tower? Why? Because it's tall.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nMexican Ambassador to Italy
\n\u201cI'm absolutely proud, even more so because he's an only child and special. To see that, despite his limitations\u2014because Down Syndrome has its limitations\u2014he has tastes, affinities, passions, hobbies that he manages to reflect, makes me very proud. All parents are proud of their kids, but when that kid is special, this passion and pride are elevated.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
