Edmy Ortiz – “Latino Surroundings”
by giselle - October 16, 2008 8:39am
Inspired by the captivity of a photo and the limitless layers of creativity, Edmy Ortiz, has settled herself in the Art world as a voice for the Latin community. It is through her pieces that she conveys the message of originality and develops a field of opportunities for others to emerge into her ancestry. Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, Ortiz has lived alongside a family of many talents; a family in which exudes the very concept of art, ranging from architects to musicians.
Focused on her subjects, Ortiz embodies the emotions and the complex structure through the swift motions of her brush, as she always keeps in mind the concept of good techniques and styles.
Her latest exhibit, “Latin Surrounding,” is currently displayed in the Administration building of Quinsigamond Community College. Hung with great pride, dignity and pure talent, the art pieces of Edmy Ortiz reveal the true meaning of art, as they display a range of perspectives seen through the eyes and lived through the bodies of many Latinos.
Showcasing the simplicities of beauty and life, “Latino Surroundings” is an exhibit in which illuminates the very essence of culture and its tolerance for diversity.
Since starting private Oil Painting lessons in 1995 and completing her Architectural degree in 2003, Ortiz has soared beyond the expectations of the industry and has made a mark in the art history of the Hispanic culture.
She states, “My goal with the exhibit titled ‘Latino Surroundings,’ is to take my audience to a journey in which they get to explore what my roots are about. I want to share my clear vocation for the arts through symbols and its relationship with the historic culture past the American Continent.”
Pieces from “Latino Surroundings” can be currently purchased through Quinsigamond Community College, Art Worcester and/or through direct contact with Edmy Ortiz at Edmyart@yahoo.com.
