HYPERREALISM
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, water colors, 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.
“Since I started painting I have always tried to represent things as real as I can. Sometimes I succeed and some others I don´t but it´s a fact that it is very difficult for me to do otherwise.
I enjoy the challenge of reproducing skin tones and it´s nuances under natural light, particularly in bright conditions. I like simplicity in my pieces since I believe that excesses make us more poor rather than rich.”

In your biography on your blog, you say that you studied with Carmen Alarcon, and she was your main professor of visual art. How did she help you develop your skills in Realism?
I consider the painter Carmen Alarcón as my main teacher because she totally introduced me to the world of arts. My background in drawing and painting was more focused on advertising illustration because I studied graphic design in college. I learned some techniques on how to illustrate with acrylics, watercolors, pastel, airbrush, etc. However, I did not learn oil painting because it was not required in my degree. A year after I graduated, I decided to leave my degree aside and go into painting, but at that time, I worked mainly with acrylics and an airbrush. I took classes with Carmen Alarcón, and she not only taught me oil painting but that the world of arts is very different from the world of illustration. I learned that painting should go directly to our sentiments and illustration to the intellect.
