Mexico-based artist Omar Ortiz stuns us with his new hyper-realistic paintings. Just when we thought they couldn't get any more beautiful, his oil paintings become even more sensual and provocative, giving us a renewed appreciation for the gorgeous female form.
Recently, Ortiz gave an interview to Sunrise Artists
where he talked about his love of oil on canvas (saying it's "the
noblest way of painting") as well as how the Internet has helped shaped
his career ("The computer is a global and immediate way of
communication, and using a blog to publish/post my work has given me
many more advantages than disadvantages. I have been able to open doors
around the world, and all of the contacts that I have gotten have been
thanks to my work published on the Internet.")
My favorite quote was when he was asked about his current series,
which we were happy to hear he's not stopping anytime soon. "For now, I
am not planning on changing my central theme: Female nude. I could paint
the human figure for all my life and still feel that there are more
things to explore. The female nude is one of the most beautiful things
in the world; it is something I love to do."
