Artists become great because they are symbolic without knowing it. Like his mentors, Henry Ordoña can become great one day. He combines the good-scene of the young, beautiful woman with the back-scene of a peaceful landscape. He is no small artist content with his art, but can become a great artist content with nothing except everything about the painting. His art startles not only because each tiny variation of element on his artpieces make every painting an arresting art, but because the artist marvels at the arresting dogma of truth behind every canvas he paints.
This clear and fine perception of what may be called the aesthetic element of impressionism is, undoubtedly, the work of great artists such as Fernando Amorsolo and Oscar Ramos. Considering the time of say 50 years that we may have to keep a Henry Ordoña painting before finding out if he indeed has become a master or not is a very small price to pay if we only consider the skills and talents that he now has which are akin to the masters.
Henry Ordoña can only get perfectly better through time.
