John Ortiz - Visual Artist

John Ortiz draws his inspiration from a love of diverse art and design. Graffiti legends like Futura and Ces provided the visual aesthetics, detailed techniques, and rhythm of colors, which laid the foundation for his style today. His approach to the creative process, combined with a keen interest in abstract expressionism, is showcased in his mixed media art, printmaking and commercial design. This style contains great movement and interaction between organic and geometric shapes, which is driven by his past work and new experimentation. With his letter-based designs and murals, John has been able to showcase a variety of typographic studies through mediums like acrylic, spray paint and chalk.
