Chia Ortegon's work has been recognized internationally for their unique interplay of color and light, their manifestation of emotion, and their unique sensuality in a style she has grown to call "Organic Expressionism." Her Centers of Emotion series consists of ordinary objects rearranged in extraordinary ways in order to evoke an array of visual sensations. This series will be accompanied by Water Sensual Universe, a series of 60" by 40" acrylic and silk images on canvas. Earning rave reviews at exhibitions in New York and Florida, this series keeps the eyes moving through veils of color and feminine imagery in a body of artwork that is truly one of a kind.

Ortegon, originally from Bogota, Colombia, has studied, worked, and painted in Spain, Italy, Costa Rica, Colombia, and the United States, and has been mentored by such revered artist as Daniel De Angeli and Simona Dolci. Known as a truly unique, innovative, and cultured artist, Chia Ortegon says, "For me a piece of art has to touch, within every human being, that intimate part that craves for beauty."
