Luis Abraham Ortiz: “The letter as graphic form is always present in
my work. The verbal content of the written word is the point of
departure of my creative process. The form of the letter and its
integration to other elements is the way I use to bring forth a message,
a very important element of my work.”

| I always use the letter form as important part of my work. Alisa Fox uses text in her image concept too. Last summer while walking in a park I found a text of the philosopher Lucius Seneca "All art is but imitation of nature". This text serves as the point of departure to my print. I decided to integrate her image with that text. I believe no matter what type of art, be it figurative, abstract or conceptual, nature is our great teacher, our source of inspiration. Each blue its blue, each green its mountain, each night its black, each star its light. |
