"Lovebirds in the forest" by Gemma Orte atelier d'art

My name is Gemma Orte Ruiz. I was born in 1972 in Barcelona, I'm a Catalan woman artist and illustratice. My country, Catalonia is a beautiful country near to France, at the Mediterranean sea. I live in Lloret de Mar, touristic town.

I'm working with various techniques from oil painting to digital media. As you can see in my portfolio I love work with bright colors and my work is very varied, from traditional painting to graphic design. 

The environment and his conservation are also very important for me. My work is inspired by honest and fair values,​​ in the beauty of the our planet and to transmit good and positive messages.

Peace, respect for individual rights, children and  animal protection are the reason for my work.

It was in 2008 when I created the first illustration, it was my first idea. At that moment my knowledge and techniques were not so developed like now, but the color was the protagonist of the work.This first version of the work was created with traditional media combined with digital media.

This version was very successful, but I always thought it could be improved and expanded. 

I'm a watercolor painter before illustratice, and in this illustration of 2013 I wanted to return to my origins as a painter. It was important to restore the freshness and spontaneity that sometimes digital media drawings lack of them.

This time I was looking for perfection at work,  movement,variety and details. There is not only birds, but also flowers, fruits, insects, floating feathers... it's a very special little world.

The color, which is so important in my work,it is also in this illustration. Colors carefully selected and combined creating a natural and joyful atmosphere.

I have created a variety of products in my Zazzle shop from this artwork.

This illustration can be ordered framed with different finishes.

The creation of different characters, all worked individually, is the major attraction of this work, each one has its own personality and they interact between them like they do in a real world.
