Yong Girl in a Pensive Mood. (2024) Painting by Rodolfo V Ortiz

Rodolfo V Ortiz, Spanish / American Artist / painter. Feb 24/65, Barcelona Spain. Born to Dolores Rodriguez Mendez and Otilio Ortiz Margarida, who was a U.S. Citizen, I was registered at the American Embassy as a US citizen in Barcelona Spain, so I have never officially been a Spanish citizen.

As a self-taught artist / painter I believe that an artist work should reflect on its own and without the help from any one from the art-world as a good work of art will most likely give you the sense of having a soul of its own but most importantly, the ability to get its message across. I have been inspired and moved by different artists specially at the beginning of my career, but I will also have to say that growing up in New York had a lot to do with it as well, I mean what better place than New York City to learn the arts.

My goal has always been to create something different and unique, a work that can be defined as one of a kind and that can easily be distinguished from one another by just observing it and without the need for the artist signature on the artwork. I myself call it Cubist Rope, and that was exactly what I have always been trying to accomplish, so there’s more to my work than just a signature on a canvas. I do art because that’s what I do and is part of me, and most importantly it fulfills me as a painter. I also suffer from a rare artistic condition known as, (Creativity Syndrome) and there’s no general medicine nor cure for it but to keep on making art, just joking. I also fingerprint all of my canvases on the reverse for authenticity purpose; I also work hard at improving myself as a painter and I take art very seriously, so no banana taped to a wall here.
