Platica Y Poetics Ep. 3 w/Olivia Ortiz

In our Mera Platica with Olivia, we explored her journey into the art world, beginning with her apprenticeship alongside her husband, Cruz Ortiz. Olivia shared how she navigates various mediums, from printmaking to oil on canvas and warehouse painting, and how personal life experiences influence artistic expression. Speaking about her feminine divine modernism style illuminates the female experience under male patriarchy, addressing themes of labor and limited autonomy. How Olivia describes abstract depictions of feminine beauty invites us to immerse ourselves in sensual art and the divine within her pieces. Our artistic space was one that manifested a divine poetic portal.
