Expressionism
Art tries to be expressed in a universal language: a language recognized in all times and all cultures. For Antonio it was well known that what made an artist timeless was the use of a universal and timeless language.
When Antonio García Calvente searches for his own language, it is through expressionism that little by little he discovers the way to make himself understood beyond his own culture and transcend current canons.
The symbols he uses are basic, they are not altered by his own perception, nor does he dare play with them out of respect for the symbol itself and its meaning. They are simply intended to serve as a key to the knowledge they point to.

Spiritual Art and Essential Symbols
The use of symbols brings us closer to the essential truths in which we get lost and wander within the generational, social or personal unconscious.
The symbols lead us to the awakening of our wisdom, illuminating the hidden by introducing us to hidden feelings that are not visible from the conscious.
Antonio García Calvente, student of Carl Gustav Jung, of alchemy and Taoist practitioner, used the purest and oldest symbols in his art, forcing the viewer to observe his own essence from a much more direct and focused perspective, avoiding everything superfluous and connecting with the silent voice of the soul.
For this reason, in his different works the same keys and symbols will be repeated, which will be used just like keys, as direct bridges to the essence of the human being.
