From an Italian word meaning to repent, a pentimento is an instance in painting when traces of an artist s earlier decisions or mistakes are visible through the final layer(s) of paint. Using modes of confession, ekphrasis, and biblical persona, Pentimento excavates a queerness entangled in one s faith tradition. Whether seeking to understand his relationship to god, friends, or family, Garcia interrogates questions that arise on the path to self-acceptance. In Self-Portrait as a Virgin, a biblical persona asks, How else are we to take words whole / in our mouths, except as they are given? Concerned with naming, desire, love, and belonging, Pentimento is a response to a kind of annunciation, the almost supernatural calling of the artist to find words through which the self is free to move.
