Arte Puertorriqueño en su maxima expresion. Keep up the good work, I know you will go far. I hope you decide to make an illustration book, it will be fantastic. God Bless". ~Marisol Acevedo, Chatham, New Jersey “Wow Oscar! Astonishing! Every piece of art is extremely unpredictable and possesses an eye-catching color palette. As you know, it is breadfruit (“pana”) season here in Puerto Rico. “Trova de la Pana” is my favorite, so far. It’s very folkloric yet possess a unique contemporary twist. Keep up the outstanding work! Josean Rodríguez – A long time friend – Caguas, PR.” "Oscar, I received the shipment today! I don't have enough words to describe how I feel. Your work is beautiful. I am a very visual and textile person, I started feeling the pieces with my hands as soon as I opened each piece. It felt fantastic! I immediately hung the painting. Thank you for being such a great artist and representing the Latino Culture!" -Ruth D. Gonzalez, NY, USA "Estimado Oscar. Las dos piezas llegaron ayer tarde en excelentes condiciones. No te imaginas lo enamorado que estoy de tu trabajo artistico. Te enviare fotos despues que esten enmarcadas ambas piezas. La verdad es que me va a ser muy dificil separarme de "Jibaro Encendio", la pieza que compre para enviarle a mi hermano en P.R. Bueno, espero volver hacer negocio contigo pronto. Recibe un abrazo de tu nuevo cliente y amigo." -Nestor Morales, Fla. "I love your work -- it makes me feel like I am home when ever I see it (I am very far away -- in Minnesota!). I am saving up so I can purchase additional pieces!" -Bernice Arias-Sather, MN "Considero que su trabajo es extraordinario. Realmente es contundente e impactante su conceptualización visual. Me encantaria llevar su plástica a los niños de las escuelas de Puerto Rico. Soy el Director del CLUB LECTOR PUERTO RICO, que tiene como propósito el fomentar la lectura en niños y en adultos. El arte siempre ha ido de la mano con la escritura. Es por esto que me encantaría tener el privilegio de conocerlo." -Alberto Ivan Cotto, PR "Tu pintura es muy lograda, creo que tienes excelente academia. Tienes "aché" como decimos en Cuba."-Pedro Assef, periodista del rotativo "Mi Gente", NC "He entrado en su dirección y he podido comprobar el rico colorido de su pintura, así como la variedad de los temas que afronta.

Your work is uniquely you, and beautiful."- David Darrow, Fine Artist & Illustrator. “We feel Oscar’s work has a wonderful vibrancy to it that will appeal to a wide audience. Puerto Rican art in general has been neglected for far too long. Bridgeman felt it was only right to take the proper steps in covering that void by licensing the beautiful artwork of Oscar Ortiz.” -Thomas Haggerty, Bridgeman Art Library "Hi Oscar! I just got home and opened [the package]. Wow! "El Jardin de Annabelle" is more beautiful in person than I could have ever imagined. God bless your hands and may you continue to create such inspiration through your work." ~ Michael and Mildred Roberts; Fla, USA "I was so excited to have received my two Giclee prints. As the wrapping fell away to expose "Fantasia Boricua" I was taken by surprise. The print was fantastic. The colors were phenomenal and muy brilloso! I fell in love with this print the first time I saw it at the website and I fell in love with the print once again. For me, it represents what a beautiful, strong and sensual woman is -- the complete opposite of today's standards of the starved, waifish looking girls. The second print, "Amanacer en Borinquen" is a special picture for me. When I initially saw it, it reminded me of my abuelito (who had passed); but not in likeness. It was the embodiment of who my grandfather was -- a proud Jibaro who worked the sugar cane fields and loved the land. It was as if I had specially commissioned this piece. The colors are vibrant and the attention to the plants growing was amazing as atested to by my father picking out what was being grown! All in all, I am simply amazed at how wonderful these prints look. They look like originals." -Luz Maria Perez, Chicago "Dear Oscar, thank you bringing your work here, I do appreciate it and it was wonderful meeting you, too. It is not often I get to put a face and personality with the art. I love both of the pieces; I keep walking out of the dining area and returning just for the sensation of seeing Solo Aquí actually on our wall. Cabo D’Armas I may end up getting framed, as you said, to set it off. Right now I’m enjoying it as I first fell for it. I was like a kid in a candy store. Again, thank you for your time and talent, and also for making it possible for me to obtain two wonderful pieces. You are very kind." ~Martha Selby, NC "The package came today. The print is stunning. Bravado Alla Prima is a beautiful print that I will admire for many years to come, as will my friends and relatives who no doubt will reminisce on their childhoods in Puerto Rico." ~Manuel Burgos, NY "Love your work! Congratulations on pursuing your life's dream." ~Anggie Oliver Gely, US "I visited your site and was very impressed. You truly are an Artist!" ~Ed Corney, Mr. Universe, Masters Olympia Bodybuilding Champion "Te quiero felicitar por la majestuosidad de tu obra, es fantástica. Me han gustado mucho tus obras... Monica e Inmutable... me cautivaron. La temática me encanta y tiene mucha relación con la vida en nuestros paises. Te felicito nuevamente. Exitos y prosperidad te deseo mi amigo. Siento que es un gran artista." ~Dr. Severino Rey, patologo "Hi Oscar, Ann and I love "El Gallo". Thank you for allowing us to 'adopt it'. ~Tim & Ann Young, Charlotte, NC "I just love your work. You have an incredible imagination for color that really sets you apart from the crowd. Your form is also very fluid and musical. adding that to the smogasbord of innovative colors schemes puts you in a class by yourself. I am very very impressed with your latest work "Cuatro en grande". I think you really have come into your own and seem to have reached a new level of confidence and dare I say bravado! Bravo my friend! Keep up the great work!" ~Stephen Boetius, NC "Your paintings are beautiful!" ~Boyer Coe, Mr. Universe, Mr. International Bodybuilding Champion. |
