Fernando Garcia Ponce (1933–1987) was a Mexican architect and abstract artist who belonged to the Generación de la Ruptura.

[1][6] In 1967, García Ponce met the French Canadian actress Denise Brosseau,[7] who had previously been married to Alejandro Jodorowsky.

Garcia Ponce and other painters of his generation felt the necessity to establish the independence of painting towards any type of social or political program.

[11] After traveling to Paris in his youth Garcia Ponce assimilated the philosophical background that characterized Informalism in France and Abstract Expressionism in the U.S. of which he appreciated the freedom.

Nonetheless, his formation as an architect undeniably influenced his painting in which geometry and structure are essential components even if treated lyrically.
