PILAR ORTIZ

Painting, Visual / Media

My art is a fusion of figuration and symbolism, rich in textures, gilding, and vibrant colors. Faces are the principal elements in my work, evoking deep feelings and personal experiences. Each piece I create tells a story woven through bright and intricate pictures.
The power of being a woman profoundly influences my choice of subject matter. It has taught me much about myself, and I channel these insights into my paintings. My art reflects the strength, vulnerability, beauty complexity of the feminine experience.

When I'm drawn to a scene, I begin by sketching my initial ideas in intricate detail. As soon as I place the first brushstroke on the canvas, my imagination starts to craft the story that will come to life through my composition.

My inspirations are multifaceted. They include the inherent power of womanhood, the rich tapestry of emotions, and the dynamic interactions with people around me. Additionally, the vibrant colors of my Latin roots are ever-present in my work, infusing it with a distinctive cultural essence.

My technique is characterized by the development of unique textures through various formulas. This approach creates a tactile quality that sets my art apart, making each piece a sensory as well as a visual journey.
