Acrylic paint is fast drying paint containing pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media. Emilio Garcia was born in Tarragona in 1981, where he studied at the School of Art and Design EADT. While pursuing his studies, he worked in various traditional animation studios in Barcelona as a layout artist and illustrator. Since 1999, he has worked as a freelance art director for international companies such as Berlitz Corporation, Hitachi, Diesel, Inditex, Metro, Vans, and The North Face, specializing in user interface design and interactive content. His work has been published in several editions of Web Design Index by Pepin Press & Agile Rabbit (2002–08) and Taschen's 1000 Favorite Websites (2003), among others. During this time, he developed a deep interest in visual culture and its intersection with technology. In 2008, inspired by the brain's remarkable capacity to adapt and reorganize itself, he transitioned to sculpture, with neuroplasticity becoming a central theme in his work.
