centro cultural tina modotti Oscar Ortiz (Puerto Rico)
Oscar Ortiz was born in Manhattan, New York, USA in 1964.
When he was five years old, his family moved to Puerto Rico. Even at that young age, art was an important part of his life. He remembers running through the rain to the local convenience store to buy drawing paper—actually big sheets of wrapping paper from the meat counter—for one cent each. Little Oscar would return home drenched, but joyful, to sketch super hero cartoons on the few dry sheets.
As a youngster, he was often asked by his teachers to get involved in art projects for his school. He would spend many hours creating illustrations which would then be used as teaching aids in the classroom. The pure joy of creating and making other people happy through his drawings and paintings was very satisfying. He had a real gift. But his creativity went dormant for almost 30 years.
He started painting and selling his pieces back in 2002.
