Angela María Ortíz S.
Birthplace: Colón, Panamá
Ángela is an accomplished graphic artist, designer
and consultant in publishing. Throughout her life
she has created art on a daily basis. The worlds she
began creating on paper as a child were the
beginnings of a style she has come to call-primitive
expressionism; a style she continues to explore in a
wide variety of media. Photographic images and the
digital palette are some of her favorites, but she
hasn't limited herself, having used oil, charcoal,
pastels, stone, wood and ceramics to broaden her
scope. In all her work, the rich, almost
overwhelming colors that are part of her cultural
and personal perspective spill out of the images and
fill the surrounding world. Meanwhile, the images
themselves continue to surprise with their
simplicity and strength.
Through its continuing evolution, the goal of
Angela’s work has always remained the same: to
recreate the images and inhabitants of our
commonplace, real world, investing them with new
life and power, creating “a little space,” as Angela
calls it, “a window into the world of my
imagination.”
“I’ve always said I was not out to change the
world—the art world or the world in general.” But as
she gets older, “I realize as artists we do make
changes even if we don’t mean to.”
Angela says. “My main goal is to bring pleasure to
my audience…and to myself.”
