About Me
Hi, I am Gabriela Ortiz. I am a Mexican creative entrepreneur based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I left my corporate job to pursue my passion for art.
I believe that doing what you love and having an inspiring surrounding at home or work elevates your mood and ultimately enhances your life. Everyone should be able to look at something beautiful and inspiring.
My artwork shows the influence of the bright colors and textures of my culture. My paint application is full of movement, fast bold strokes, typical of the way of life in a fast-paced city.
The subjects of my paintings are a mixture of the nostalgia for my home country and the novelty of the new places I explore during my travels.
In my portraits, you will frequently discover elements of someone close to me. The landscapes represent my fascination for exploration of color, textures and different ways to apply paint.
I view my art
as a way to communicate my inside with the outside world. To nurture the
connection with my beloved Mexico.
My art is has been on display at the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh's Museum Lab on the Face Value Exhibit..
PERSONAL MOTIVATION
My why I do art stems from freedom. Feeling free to express and share my culture in a visual way. Freedom to realize that as life evolves, so do our preferences and goals as a person and as a professional.
I want to inspire other women who are struggling to find motivation to pursue their dreams. To show that it's doable, to share inspiration via my art.
GIVING BACK
I love the idea of being an entrepreneur and a philanthropist, and using my art to create awareness of causes that are close to my heart and are aligned with my values makes me excited to be an artist in the modern world.
Changing the narrative of the starving artist, in a traditionally male-dominated industry to one that has female artists giving back generously is something that I am striving for. And while I’m at the beginning of my own road, I do want to share some of the places I support regularly so you can see where some of your art purchasing power goes.
Here are the organizations that I am currently supporting through my art.
Alzheimer's Association SEE HERE
UNICEF- Children in Ukraine SEE HERE
My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
