Éfata – Elizabeth Ortega

An exhibition of colourful contemporary symmography works by emerging artist Elizabeth Ortega at the Ochredfern Gallery in Alexandria.

Opening Night: 5 November 6-8pm

Elizabeth Ortega’s work is deeply rooted in the exploration of raw materials – threads, nails, and wood. These simple elements, when combined, form the foundation of her artistic process, allowing her to create pieces that reflect the essence of life in a minimalist and unique way.

With an eye for practicality and invention, Elizabeth focuses on the contrasts between textures and the interplay of colours to evoke emotions and capture fleeting moments of beauty.

Using these materials, she crafts works that range from delicate thread compositions to bold, structured designs made from wood and nails.

Each piece tells a story, bringing to life memories and emotions in an organic, tangible form. Her process is a blend of meticulous craftsmanship and spontaneous creation, guided by a love for simplicity and the belief that beauty lies in the most fundamental elements of our daily experiences.

In everything Elizabeth creates, her aim is to balance creativity, authenticity, and passion, offering pieces that not only express her own vision but also resonates with the personal experiences of others.
