Artist Collaboration: Justin Garcia

Discover the artistry of Justin Garcia at Le Meridien Houston Downtown, where his work transforms our hotel into a journey through time and human perception. Justin’s art, now wrapping our elevators, invites you into a world where “every wall is a surface subjected to time.” His powerful project, If These Walls Could Talk, born from collaborations with children globally, expresses stories of resilience through bold, graffiti-inspired visuals.

Guided by his artist’s statement, “Art is an expression of the mind’s endless creativity,” Justin explores the question of why by studying the effect of time on walls, which he sees as architectural structures representing reality. Aging walls, he believes, create a sense of solace and curiosity, allowing us to confront and feel time's presence—its “atmospheric feeling of change.” Through each subtle mark, Justin’s art invites viewers to a moment of reflection, stimulating our awareness of time and our place within it.

At Le Meridien Houston Downtown, we celebrate Houston’s thriving art scene and invite you to immerse yourself in Justin’s evocative work, where every subtle nuance encourages us to “see time and question what it reflects of us.” Join us to experience the powerful dialogue between art, time, and curiosity, right here in the heart of Houston.
