Miguel Ortega

Ensenada, Mexico · Abstract & Minimalism · 20 years active

“I paint in Ensenada, in a small studio facing the Pacific where the marine layer rolls in each afternoon. Years as a lab technician studying plankton taught me to watch slow, subtle changes. I work wet into wet with a wide brush, letting grey and cream fold into each other, then add a thin teal line where the horizon almost disappears.”
