About the Item
Het Tuinpad I, is part of the artist's "The Curacao Pictures" Series. This one-of-a- kind, archival pigment print is printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag bright paper with a deckled edge. Signed on the Verso.
The title means the garden path in Dutch. The work began from a photograph taken on the grounds of a hotel in Curaçao—an ordinary path edged by flowers and palms. The artist was drawn to how the scene fractured into planes of color and rhythm. Het Tuinpad I stays close to the landscape, and moves from observation to reconstruction—walking translated into memory and light.
Gary Cruz’s Curaçao Pictures transform encounters with the island’s light, landscape, and atmosphere into radiant digital abstractions. Created on-site with a smartphone, each image begins as a photograph—flowers, palms, gardens, sand, or sea—then evolves through improvisational editing that mirrors a painter’s touch. These works blur the boundary between photography, painting, and printing, merging immediacy with reflection.
Over time, the series has grown increasingly abstract and architectonic: forms sharpen, colors intensify, and energy becomes structure. Yet each image retains its origin in lived experience—the sensory charge of Curaçao’s landscape and its multilingual, layered culture. Together, they form a decade-long dialogue between perception and transformation, where technology becomes a plein air instrument and light itself becomes material.
Mr. Cruz is a recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Grant. His first solo show was at White Columns, New York City in 2003.

Gary Cruz
Gary Cruz begins his creative process with the camera on his phone. Trained as an architect and designer, Cruz has a particular interest in creating and conflating depth within the pictorial plane. His final images compress space where the back is front and outside is inside. Past, present and future coexist simultaneously in his work where space is ambiguous. The works embody the duality of contemporary photographic techniques and the tradition of gestural painting. Cruz earned a degree in architecture from the University of Texas, Austin, Texas. He attended the Bronx Museum of the Arts, AIM Program, Bronx, New York. Cruz is a recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Grant and Robert Rauschenberg Change Inc. Grant. A native of Texas, Cruz now lives and works in New York City.
