Moisés Ortiz

(Mexico City, 1981)

Ortiz holds an MFA in Visual Art from the Faculty of Arts and Design at The National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Ortiz's youth was marked by profound self-criticism and perfectionist tendencies; being an introvert granted him a drive to profoundly explore the technical aspect of his medium, which led to a unique appreciation for contemporary aesthetic renderings.

Taking a decade-long hiatus after completing his degree allowed him to thoughtfully delve conceptually and emotionally into his practice and explore other artistic-driven systems such as design.

His career developed examining the masterpieces of the muralist forefathers; Rivera and Siqueiros' practices granted an entryway for Ortiz to comprehend revolutionary aesthetic practices in subject matter and medium simultaneously. His work is deeply influenced by the global achievements of the many cubist artists before him. However, until his time at UNAM, he became a proponent of analytical and critical aesthetictheory and thus began to innovate from within his canvas.
