Duckling

In Duckling, Melody, and Winter Peach, Emma Ortiz composes a dance of florals, where movement and stillness exist in harmony. Patterns emerge within the foreground, guiding the eye through compositions that feel both spontaneous and intentional—like petals caught midair before settling. These works serve as quiet reminders that rest is essential before a grand performance. With each bloom making a graceful entrance, Ortiz captures the rhythm of nature in motion, where flowers don’t simply sit—they sway, flutter, and unfurl, filling the canvas with life.

Emma Ortiz’s HEARTFELT series is a luminous meditation on memory, love, and transformation. Comprising twelve original oil paintings, the collection unfolds like a personal archive—an outpouring of nurtured creativity shaped by the artist’s recent milestones. Painted in the wake of a honeymoon in Japan, a wedding surrounded by loved ones, and the quiet process of making a home, these works embody the sparkly, fleeting moments that define a life in transition.

Grounded in the softness of recollection, HEARTFELT captures the feeling of trees on the brink of bloom, the delicate imprint of a wedding bouquet, and the awareness of experiencing something you know you’ll miss. Through rich, layered textures and intuitive brushwork, Ortiz preserves these moments beyond memory, distilling them into paintings that hum with warmth, longing, and love.
