Biography of Britta Ortiz

I was born i Danmark in 1959. Expressing myself artistically has been a necessity since I was young. I went at a young age on a preparatory course to the art academy because I wanted to educate myself in art. However, my parents did not want my academic abilities to be wasted, so I chose instead to study medicine and have since also taken two other academic degrees.
Over the years, though, I have worked with art alongside because it is a necessity for me. However, it was not until 2010 that I participated in an art exhibition, and since then a lot has happened. I have participated in many exhibitions in both Denmark and abroad, including in the United States, Italy, England, Austria and Germany. In addition, I am represented in a large number of art books and art magazines. In addition, I have been the initiator of founding two different Danish artists’ associations.

Artistic statement
My art is inspired by the world around me. I live in the countryside surrounded by nature and animals. We humans believe that we are superior to all other species. It is true that we are the species on earth that affect the earth most, bus as scientists get wiser, they also find that animals have many of the characteristics that they believed were peculiar to humans. Man’s challenge is often that he is only able to view the world from a human perspective. I believe, on the other hand, that in many ways animals are as intelligent as humans if animals are viewed from their own perspective. Animals acquire the skills they need, and when you live close to animals, you also know that animals also have emotions and in their actions are not only driven by impulses.
However, my educational background also reflects that it is not only nature and animals that interest me. So does man and the society that surrounds me, and that is also reflected in my art.

CV Britta Ortiz
I have been producing art since my youth and have received instruction from several professional artists, but have only started exhibiting my art from 2010. I make art because it is a necessity for me in an otherwise very theoretical and bookish world.
