ALLEGORY
by Dominique Ortiz
June 12th to July 27th
Allegory is a narrative, a piece of art which through brushstrokes creates symbols, images which convey a meaning beyond what is seen. Dominique
Dominique Ortiz is a contemporary painter presently living in Port Hope, Ontario. She was born in Casablanca and raised in the south of France.
As a fashion designer, she established a distinctive look and gained recognition for her mastery of vibrant colours and shapes.
She now channels her creativity into her paintings, which reflect her childhood in her choice of warm, earthy tones along with the sunny Mediterranean yellows, aquamarines and blues. Her artwork is a rich tapestry of her international life.
Dominique works in watercolour, oil and acrylic mixed media. Her use of both brush and palette knife allows her freedom of expression and creates interesting texture.
Her paintings, infused with flowing movements and symbols reflect her passion for her art.
Dominique's recent travels through vibrant, colourful Mexico has added another dimension to her art, inspiring her and guiding her to create ALLEGORY.
