Latin American Artist Otto Hernandez
Every photograph is a doorway into the soul of an artist, a glimpse into their creative process, their struggles, and their triumphs.
My mission as a photographer goes far beyond capturing beautiful images. I am dedicated to telling the stories behind them. Through my lens and contemplative interviews, I bring the world of art to life, weaving stories that resonate deeply with anyone seeking to create a more meaningful life.
With a passion for both photography and storytelling, I travel far and wide to meet artists in their element. Whether that's sitting with painters in their studios, sculptors in their workshops, and dancers in their rehearsal spaces. As I listen intently to their journeys, my aim is simple: to uncover the heart of their creativity and share it with the world. By sharing these personal stories, I hope to inspire others to embrace their own creative paths, whether in art or everyday life.
My goal is to remind you that art is not just about the finished product, but about the human experience behind it-one filled with passion, persistence, and purpose.

While studying art masters such as Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt van Rijn, Otto discovered his passion for portraits. Their style offered a spiritual connection between language and expression that inspired Otto to paint and draw portraits.
Painting and drawing are his favorite mediums.
Otto portrays the beauty and intelligence of women in particularly. Through experimentation, Otto Hernandez continues to develop his individual style. In 2019, Otto attended his first artist residency at Chateau Orquevaux. The following year, he returned as a volunteer and the rest is history.
