About the Artist
Angel Ortega, also known as Garzig is heavily influenced by metal music, their Mexican heritage, and their love for redesigning pop culture with a low brow chic. All of Angel’s work starts with a pencil sketch that they fine tune using digital software.
Angel currently has a sculpture piece at the Mexic-Arte Museum, Fideo Paleta Man. Many of the techniques Angel used to build the sculpture were taught by her dad and art mentors.
Artist Statement
“The work I’m submitting for Changarreando are pieces I’ve created during 2020. With these pieces I not only plan to reproduce them in a tangible format, but I’ve also created digitally with animations in the works.”
