Installation view About the Artist
Vibrant colors, bold contrast, and diverse patterns are hallmarks of Raúl Ortiz’s
work. His painting practice is heavily influenced by years of printmaking, creating
abstract compositions through layering, repeating, and refining images and marks.
Born and raised in Mexico, Ortiz moved to Chicago as a child where he still lives
and works.
