Javier S Ortega

This week my blog is about one of my favorite people. He is funny, kind, and has an amazing talent for bringing beauty and mystery to the world. Every time I get to see one of his shows I feel so lucky to know him.

I love this painting, I think it so gracefully says so much about how we treat gender  in our culture.

This is a show of his that I got to see last year, it's amazing! So elegant and gritty at the same time.

This compilation incorporates so many great elements, the sepia tones, and the allure of a crisp fall night. I can feel everything I love about Autumn when I look at them

This painting is so dark and sensuous, the whole series is like discovering your favorite suspense or horror film was made before you where born.

Or go on a Youtube adventure, this one makes me want to join the circus, and pretty much be one of Javiers characters :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WNsxhxe0TM
