Sculptor Benito Ortega Vargas The Most Interesting Man In Todos Santos B.C.S.

Benito Ortega Vargas was born in Mexico City in 1951. At an early age, he displayed a penchant for making art. He felt that art was his calling and eventually chose sculpture as his method of expression.

He studied at the San Carlos Academy, the National Institute of Fine Arts, the National Autonomous University of Mexico, and the Casa de Cultura de Oaxaca. He began showing his work in 1979. In 1981, with other artists, he founded the Taller de Grafica Libre Oaxaca. In 1983, he co-founded the Institute of Visual Arts of Taxco and began teaching.

In 2008 he moved to Todos Santos, in Baja California Sur, where his beautiful studio and gallery showcases his work. "Inside the depths of human unconsciousness, there is a call of harmony." He says his work is an exploration of that theme.
