Felipe Ortiz

Felipe Ortiz combines wildlife imagery, abstraction and strong color in public murals concerned with migration and adaptation. His artist statement connects migratory birds with his own journey from Colombia to the United States. Plumage, documented at Northeastern University in 2020, uses this visual language on the Stearns Center facade facing Huntington Avenue. The university credits its College of Arts, Media and Design makerspace with laser-cutting butterfly stencils that connect the mural visually to a neighboring Jef Aérosol work. Ortiz’s portfolio also records Past Present Future for Cambridge’s Central Square Mural Project in 2019 and Splash Pollinator #2 at Stoklosa Middle School in Lowell in 2024. These site-specific references show work for educational and neighborhood settings while preserving the role of fabrication collaborators and avoiding a claim about the artist’s current residence.
