Artist Statement
My name is Cesar Ortiz and I am a multi-medium artist born and raised in Southside Chicago. Ever since I could remember I was always interested in drawings things out and looking at objects from different perspectives. I grew a passion for graffiti from always looking at it when I was traveling throughout Chicago each being different from the next and each holding different techniques and different color combinations. I use my styles and technique to make pieces that bring in my passion for graffiti and drawing to create signature pieces that I hope to put up for everyone to see.
