Omar Ortiz Brush Selection

Omar Ortiz was born in 1977 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico where he still lives. Since he was a boy he has been interested in drawing and illustration. He studied for a degree in Graphic Design, where he learned different techniques such as hand drawing, pastels, charcoal, watercolors, acrylics and airbrushing.

 

When he finished college he decided to make a living from painting. In 2002 he attended his first oil paint classes with the artist Carmen Alarcón, who he considers his main teacher. Omar Ortiz currently works with oil painting because he considers it the noblest technique.

 

His work is characterized as minimalistic - hyperrealism where the human body is predominate whit texture-filled backgrounds and a magical use of fabric. “His paintings act like intimate pieces, trapped in themselves, outside of space and context” He has shown in Mexico, Spain, Netherlands, and London.

 

With more than 15 Years painting I have used many brands and types of brushes and I definitely think that Rosemary brushes are the best I have worked with, the quality is outstanding. I have made a selection of 32 brushes with a very wide variety of shapes and hair, this is a Set I normally use to paint the realistic human figure, I also give workshops around the world and this is the Set I tell my students to take with them.
