It happens that photographs cannot convey all the brilliance of the frame. And it happens that oil paintings look like living. Like, for example, the hyper-realistic works of the Mexican artist Omar Ortiz. Most often, charming women fall under the sight of the maestro's brush. It is their bodies that are painted on the canvas with maximum detail. How beautiful and organic it is, you can find out from our review.
As for the artist himself, he says this about his work: “When I started painting, I always tried to portray things as real as I could. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes the picture has to be redone. I enjoy the task of recreating skin tones, all the nuances of the play of light in natural light. I like to keep the paintings as simple as possible, because I believe that excesses make us poorer."
Omar Ortiz was born in 1977 in the Mexican town of Guadalajara, where he still lives. He showed interest in drawing and illustration as a child. Parents did not oppose the desire of their son and sent him to an art school, where Omar studied graphic design. It was there that he mastered such drawing techniques as drawing, pastel, charcoal, watercolor, acrylic and airbrushing.
When Ortiz graduated from college, he decided to make a living by painting. In 2002, he created his first masterpiece with oil paints under the strict guidance of the artist Carmen Alarcon, whom he still considers to be his main teacher.
Omar Ortiz is currently painting oil paintings. His work is characterized as minimalistic hyperrealism, where the human body is predominant, and has been successfully displayed in galleries in Mexico, Spain, the Netherlands and London.
Earlier, we have already introduced readers to the hyperrealistic handshake from Omar Ortiz, and in such detail that in the detailing of the picture you can see both the hairs on the heroes' hands and the nails. Today's post is less detailed, but no less colorful and impressive.

"Everything flows, everything changes". Ephemeral beauty in the work of Nicole Dextras
Artist Nicole Dextras is very fond of working with clothes, but she does it in very unusual ways. For example, her work is highly dependent on the time of year and the weather outside. If it's summer, then Nicole goes to the garden, where she picks up weeds and turns them into beautiful dresses. If it is winter outside, the artist takes ready-made clothes and … freezes them in blocks of ice. It's worth seeing, isn't it?
