"Jorge studied at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas and the Academia de San Carlos, two of the most distinguished art schools in Mexico. Jorge Obregón has become the descendant of the great Mexican landscapists, of Jose Ma. Velasco, Doctor Atl and Luis Nishizawa. The latter has been Jorge's teacher, for most of his career. |
| To paint landscapes is not to reproduce what the artists sees in front of him, but it is more abstracting what makes sense to him, what appeals to his sensitivities, in the sense of proportion, light, and esthetics. More than the intrinsic value of a landscape, the artist that creates it has to have a developed capacity of observation to distinguish one appealing frame versus another". |

Jorge Obregón, young artist, walks through the world of art; totally engrossed with our landscapes of ample horizons, infinite…where often one looses one's sight and begins to dream…, more than paint, he sings with colors, the valleys, the hills and mountains, and most of all, the volcanoes, whose ability to possess envelops us all. I wish him a venturous future, because his youth and his passion for this genre will take him far… |
