“ Inspiration simply arises ,” admits Ortiz :

“ It is not something that can be explained , it just happens . Ideas can come at any time . I think it helps to be calm , without situations of stress and with a clear mind . Any moment , even if it seems insignificant , can be inspiring . Each image depends on the moment . Sometimes I can think of an idea and look for the elements to create it ; other times , I see an object or a flower and I can think of an illustration to add to create something original ; other times I simply photograph objects and save the photos , so that when I see them again at a later time , I can come up with ideas that I did not think of the first time around . I like my images to be very clean and without too many elements . Works that feature many elements are meant to be enjoyed over time in order to discover everything that the author wants to tell us . In my case , posting my art on Instagram where images are viewed quickly , I think it is better to be very direct . To transmit as much as possible with fewer elements .”
