Marco Ortolan is an Argentinian painter who has extensively exhibited nationally, as well as in Italy, Mexico, Germany, Portugal and the United States. His themes are constantly changing because he believes that 'the artist must be universal', with there being no messages because 'art is interpretation'. Ortolan oscillates between hyperrealism and impressionism, his pieces begin to take shape with color drawings. Large strokes delineate shapes from large to small and are translated through oil on wood using a variety of tools.
