Juan García Segura is a Spanish painter. He was born in Palma in 1956. Between 1975 and 1979 he studied painting and sculpture at the School of Arts and Crafts of Palma. Exercises ranging from brut art to hyperrealism. In 1975 he created a small painting entitled "Green March" inspired by the Moroccan invasion in the Spanish Sahara, considered the painter's first mature work and cataloged within the Neo-Expressionism that developed in the 1980s. In 1982 Segura developed an interest in neo-expressionist figuration emphasizing agility and color. He produced a series of works on rhinos, elephants and palms. In 1983 he made his first trip to Paris, where the director of L'École des Beaux-Arts granted a special scholarship to participate in the Workshop on Matière et Couleur research directed by Master Silvestri. In recent years all works with waste materials are combined with other figurative ones. Segura's work found inspiration from the city and its waste, with a style close to Pop Art but with a vision of the past that gave it an added nostalgic value which was ironically baptized as Denigrart (Art is denigrated).
