ARTWORK: Regatta, three sailboats & Talavera

A piece that can also work above the tube, it complements the colors of the talavera tiles, has the local theme of sea and sailing, and the presence of golds and ocres enhace the blues and touches of turquoise in the sea. It is mounted on a hand painted silver gilded frame and measures aprox. 50 by 50 inches.

"Talavera Jar"-It measures aprox 20 by 36 inches.

This piece could also work by the entrance of the condo.

ARTWORK: Repainted Panels

These are the repainted prints that were in the toilet room. I still have to work on a few details, but the rough composition is there. Three of this in a vertical line would look great, as you glance through the mirror.

ARTWORK: Red Shells>fossils and sand

This triptych can work inside the toilet of the master bedroom, or separated and place two pieces alongside the bathroom closets and another piece for the toilet (the re-painted ones that were there before).

ARTWORK: bird´s eye view of the sea with sailboats

Small pieces, 12 by 12 inches each, oil with varnish. This could be place one on each side between the bathroom closets and the sinks.

Another option can include the following sailboats on one side (men´s side) and the previous ones or two aquatic orchids on the other side (woman´s side).

ARTWORK: Paper Boat sailing into port

Oil on wood, 48 by 48 inches, 2010

IDEA: Land/seascape

This piece brings some of the colors of the bedding into the bathroom creating a natural visual flow. Also this style, with some color variations and in a square format can work in the kitchen.

--Icarus by the sea, oil on wood, 2008, private collection.

Possible look in the kitchen

IDEA: aquatic orquid, master bathroom

This is a set of four pieces, "aquatic orquids", that arrange in a vertical way may work in the narrow walls next to the closets, at the entrance of the bathroom.

And similar larger pieces can work next to the toilet, in the area that is seen from the mirror, or a composite of smaller pieces put together in a "tile way" like the image below.

Private collection.

ARTWORK: calm motion, PANGAS

Sea scape with "pangas" (small fishing boats), oil on wood with metal frame, 36 by 36 inches

BRIEF BIO

Hugo Ortega Lopez has a degree in Industrial Design from the Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana in Mexico. Afterwards he pursued his graduate studies through the Fulbright-Garcia Robles scholarship program, and its one of the few academics around the world to obtain two Fulbright grants. With the first scholarship, he studied a master in fine arts with a mayor in fiber arts and textiles at the Savannah College of Art and Design where he was granted the Outstanding Graduate Student award. A few years later the second scholarship took him to Columbia University in New York where his doctoral studies, research, and studio practice—supported by his trajectory as a professor, in various design and art programs (Universidad Metropolitana, Universidad Iberoamericana, Universidad Anahuac and Columbia University)—focused on the dynamics and methods of the artist´s creative process, and how it affects their way of teaching.

Since 1985 he has participated with fiber art, paintings, drawings, digital art and videos in more than fifty group exhibitions in Mexico, Japan, Germany, India and the United States; and eight solo exhibitions in Mexico City and New York City. He also has a wide experience as a curator and gallerist in Mexico and the United States. His professional activities in the various stages of art are characterized by a creative strategy where planning and conceptual narrative are substituted by simple rules of engagement, iterative cycles of experimentation and an a-posteriori interpretation of his work, a narrative shaped in most part by converstions with the viewer.
