art is extremely unpredictable and possesses an eye-catching color
palette. As you know, it is breadfruit (“pana”) season here in Puerto

yet possess a unique contemporary twist. Keep up the outstanding work!
Josean Rodríguez – A long time friend – Caguas, PR.”

I received the shipment today! I don't have enough words to describe

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

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

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

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

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

"It's quite an honor to know such a great artist like you!" ~Sonia Ravnitzky, Parent & Community Involvement Coordinator, Monroe, NC
"I never ceased to be amazed at the vibrancy of the colors and the lyrical quality of the images. Your work elicits a strong emotional response. I can see how people will want to return again and again to your works like visiting a friend who you never tire of being in the company of. The paintings are so pleasing to look at and makes one wonder what inspired them. They make me happy, too. So much modern art is so depressing. Looking at your work is like taking a vacation of the mind and the spirit to a distant, interesting and inviting place "far, far away from the maddening crowd". Please keep the Art a comin'! I salute and congratulate you!" ~~Stephen Boetius, NC
"The day was cloudy and cold with a steady drizzle and rain. I removed Oscar's painting from the wrapping and viewed ["Un día bonito"] for the first time. Suddenly, without warning, a blinding blaze of Caribbean sunlight smacked me in the face! I heard the faint rhythms of la plena and was engulfed by the aroma of fried yuca. Now I'm at the San Juan airport trying to fly back home. ¡Gracias!" ~Donald Sánchez, NC
"I enjoyed your website. It looks like you're doing what you were born to do. Congratulations on your success!"
~ Bob Raczka, author of Name That Style and many others art books for children.
