"Fortitude" by Angel Otero is a striking mixed-media work that combines spray paint, oil skins, resin, and wood to create a richly textured and visually dynamic composition. Otero's signature process of peeling and transferring layers of dried paint gives the piece an almost sculptural quality, blurring the boundaries between painting and three-dimensional form. The work evokes themes of resilience and strength, with its accumulated layers serving as a metaphor for the enduring nature of the human spirit.
