The reporter and art-critic Josep Mª Cadena presenting the work of this artist. He is holding a book by Hilari Raguer, Montserrat monk that Mr. Cadena used to illustrate a “curious” comparison: the “lectio divine” (the quiet reading of the Bible) a monks’ practice that reminds Mr. Cadena of Ruiz Ortega’s painting style. A relaxed style which surprises in somebody that, as in the case of this painter, also is a professor in the active world of the Universities. |

Ruiz Ortega, in the doorway at the Rusiñol Gallery. One of the main characteristics of this extraordinary draftsman is his penchant to paint over recovered materials. A good sample can now be seen at the Rusiñol Gallery showcase. |
