Omar Ortiz was born in 1977 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. In 2002 he attended his first oil paint classes with the artist Carmen Alarcón, who he considers his main teacher. Ortiz currently works with oil painting because he considers it the noblest technique.

He has showed in Mexico, Spain, Netherlands and London.
