¡Saludos! Mi nombre es Jonathan Ortiz, y soy "El Nuevo" artista participando en el 5to Festival de Arte Urbana: Santurce Es Ley.

Santurce, uno de los barrios más poblados de nuestra capital, cuenta con sobre 90 mil habitantes, convirtiéndolo así en uno de los ejes principales de San Juan. A pesar de su población, hay una abrumadora cantidad de edificios que, con el paso de los años, la baja en la economía local, y otros factores, han sido abandonados a merced del tiempo, dejando atrás lo que fuera el Santurce de hace unas décadas. El Festival de Arte Urbana: Santurce es Ley, en su quinta edición, le brinda la oportunidad a diversos artistas de darle vida a estas paredes abandonadas con diseños originales. Estas restauraciones brindan un espíritu artístico que invita a cualquiera a perderse entre las calles, apreciando la labor de estos virtuosos de la pintura, y convirtiendo nuevamente a este barrio, en el centro cultural de nuestro San Juan.

¿Cuál es el problema? Al ser "El Nuevo”, no cuento con los auspicios que muchos de "Los Viejos" tienen para trabajar en sus murales. Cuando acepté la oferta de los organizadores, no tenía idea de lo costoso que sería el proyecto. Al momento, he gastado $250.00 de mi caudal en pintura para poder restaurar la pared. Siempre escuchaba a los muchachos decir: "la pintura es cara”, y hoy me uno a su voz. Aunque no lo crean, esto ha sido un sueño hecho realidad. Hace unos meses me encontraba estudiando en la Facultad de Derecho donde cursé mi primer año de escuela graduada.

Antes:



Limpiando la pared.

Aunque logre "sobrevivir" el "año más difícil" de Derecho, al terminarlo me percaté de algo curioso: todas mis libretas, libros y apuntes tenían algún dibujo. Siempre he sido amante del arte, pero nunca lo estudié formalmente. Este verano me dí la oportunidad de solicitar a la Escuela de Artes Plásticas en el Viejo San Juan y decidí que de ser admitido, pondría una pausa en mis estudios de abogacía. Recibí mi carta de aceptación en junio y lo demás ha sido un abrir y cerrar de ojos. El artista Ruben Luciano me llevó para ayudarle en uno de sus murales y de ahí salté a mi propia pared en Santurce Es Ley 5.

Después:



Los gastos de pintura, refrigerios para estas tardes calurosas de verano y comida durante la faena, aproximan los $1,500, que gracias a la colaboración de otros artistas, se ha podido minimizar a $1,000. Cualquier donativo, grande o pequeño, es bienvenido. Solicito, de la manera más humilde que se me pudo ocurrir, la cooperación de ustedes que pasarán por Santurce y verán nuestros trabajos. Pido ese cariño por los artistas locales, pero sobretodo, agradezco que se hayan tomado el tiempo de creer en mí y aportar a la causa. No todos los días se nos da la oportunidad de participar en cosas tan grandes; gracias por ayudarme a llegar. Si esto es sin educación formal, ¿se imaginan que será de mi cuando me gradúe de la Escuela de Artes Plásticas?

Goal: 1,000 USD to purchase paint and materials.

Purpose: Elaborate mural on La Calle Elisa Cerra, Santurce Puerto Rico

¡Greetings! My name is Jonathan Ortiz and I’m “El Nuevo” (The new Guya) participating on the 5th Urban Art Mural Festival: Santurce es Ley.

Santurce is one of the most populated districts of the capital, populated with over 90,000 civilians, making it one of the principle areas of San Juan. All though it is a populated city, the local economy and other factors have left this area pretty deserted with the passing of time. The Art Festival “Santurce es Ley” gives different artist the opportunity to bring back to life the district's walls with original murals. These restorations give the opportunity for anyone to get lost in the beauty that decorate the streets. Making this space the cultural center.

Where’s the problem? Being the new guy, I do not get the “sponsored” treatment that many of the recognised artist have. When I accepted the invitation to participate, i had no idea what i was in fr cos wise. At the moment I have spent over 600.00 dollars from my own pocket to restore the wall itself. I’ve always heard artist say “Paint is expensive” I now understand why.

Before

A couple of months ago, I was in graduate school studying Law. Even though I survived first year of law school or “the hardest year of your life” (like most law students call it) I noticed all of my books, notebooks and notes had doodles and drawings in most pages. I’ve always been an art lover, but I never studied art formally. This summer I gave myself the opportunity to apply for Puerto Rico’s most prestigious Art School, Escuela de Artes Plásticas in the Old San Juan, to see if I got in. If I got in, I would pause my Law studies. On June, I was accepted and the rest, as they say, was history. As Ruben Luciano’s apprentice, I got recommended to participate in the Festival Santurce Es Ley 5.

After:

The expenses of paint, food and gasoline to get to the mural (45 minute drive from my home) have been estimated to be $1,500, but thanks to other local artist, I have been able to minimise the total cost to $1,000. Any donation, big or small, is more than welcomed. I ask in the most humble way I can for your cooperation. A little bit of love is all that is needed. I thank you for believing in me and helping the cause. It’s not every day you get to participate in something as big as this, thank you again for helping me make it. Funny thing is, this has all happened without a formal art education, ¿Can you imagine what will become of me after I finish Art School?
