| Introduction | (Ibagué 1968) Is a Colombian neo-realistic artist known for his contemporary compositions based on classic subjects. He is a leading figure of the Renaissance of the contemporary narrative art in Latin America. Recently Yoshiharu Sasaki, Assistant director of the Iwaki Art Museum de Japan, wrote: “It would be possible to be said that the painting of Ortiz is baroque of the contemporary time, constituted by the greatness, and of a powerful subject, in addition dramatic to an hidden tone, harmonizing with the privacy and the audacity a traditional interpretation to the contemporary. The dandyism to Hollywood and modus solid classic that is reflected in her, I do not believe that it is possible to create it in this nation.” His works are included in the collections of the Museum of Latin American Art of Los Angeles California, the Civic Museum of Abano Terme in Italy, the Museum of Antioquia, the Museum of Modern Art of Cuenca, and The Museum of Contemporay Art of Guayaquil, among others. He founded in 2003 the Museum of art of Tolima. He is member of the Academy of History of the Tolima. |
