Jean “Baco” Ortiz earned a Bachelor's degree with a specialization in Fine Arts from the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico, Ponce Campus. He has created multiple murals for events such as Ponce Renace, Pa’ el Barrio, Ponce es Ley, Yaucromatic, among others. His work has been featured in both solo and group exhibitions in Puerto Rico and abroad.
His artwork reflects the identity and historical context of Afro-descendence and the Puerto Rican community to which he belongs. In August 2024, he was selected to participate in the artist residency at the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico as part of the offerings of its Center for Creative Community Development (CEDE).
