MariaTeresa Ortiz-Naretto

Ortiz-Naretto describes her journey by expressing “I am looking at my mirror as Paul Eluard would say about my paintings. Almost like a reverie, my cold wax and oil paintings express something about my desires, my searches, and my accomplishments. My hands dance with my palette knives. I carefully choose a range of colors to embody a balanced tension between figurative forms and abstract details. The exploration of my femineity emerges with the representation of my family, Pre-Columbian Goddess, Women’s bodies and portraits, and bodies as Nature itself. Above all, I enlighten my representations to express the brightness of femineity and the human nature.”
