Paintings of  Artist Ricardo Fernandez Ortega 

Ricardo Fernandez Ortega is a contemporary Mexican surrealist painter was born in 1971 in Durango, Mexico. Ortega's surreal paintings invite us to travel to a different place and time, his style reminds us of the masterpieces of the greatest classical surrealist masters, however, his paintings are modern and fully correspond to the spirit of the times.

despite this he returns to classical painting - painting of the Renaissance and Antiquity, this is especially noticeable in the colors and prerequisites for the anatomically correct construction of the human body, as well as a kind of admiration for the woman's body. But as we see, modern means and admixtures of modern hyperrealism are also used here. using rich dark juicy tones is reminiscent of the Spanish masters of the 17th century. The play of light and shadow creates a mysterious space, surreal wastelands, where strange fantastic scenes are played out and feminine heroines enclosed in armor live.

Ricardo Fernandez Ortega's works represent an amazing world of surrealism, in which there are no clear lines and boundaries, colors smoothly transition from one to another, and each form imperceptibly turns into another. The people depicted on the artist's canvases live their ephemeral life, so unlike the reality around us.
