ORENDAIN is a Mexican visual artist whose work explores the intersection of geometry, spirituality, and matter. His style combines abstract structures with a deep attention to gesture, texture, and chromatic balance, working predominantly in mixed media, including watercolor, acrylics, and gold leaf. In each of his pieces, one perceives a dialogue between the spontaneous and the contained, between the material and the symbolic.
Trained as a student of the renowned graphic artist Nunik Sauret , ORENDAIN has cultivated his own aesthetic that draws on art history, Eastern practices such as Japanese art, ikebana and ceramics , as well as Latin American influences such as Manuel Felguérez, Mathias Goeritz and Vicente Rojo , whose influences are subtly interwoven in his production.
His academic training is broad and transversal, highlighting:
- Diploma in Art History and Narrative Therapy from the University of the Cloister of Sor Juana
- Diploma in Religious Iconography from the Institute of Historical Artistic Studies
- Diploma in Film Narrative from the Cineclubista Link Network
- Diploma in Decoration and Interior Design from the Monterrey Institute of Technology
- Diploma in Storytelling from the International School for Emotional Development
This formative diversity is reflected in the visual narrative of his work: each canvas can be read as a contained scene, a symbolic fragment, or an emotional architecture. The use of gold leaf, present in many of his pieces, is not only an aesthetic resource but also a spiritual component that dialogues with light, silence, and memory.
Through his abstract series, ORENDAIN has established a coherent and distinctive visual language that resonates in both contemporary design spaces and more introspective curatorial settings. His work invites contemplation and pause, proposing an aesthetic that breathes from the center.
