My name is Matt Ortega and this is Kuro-Same Arts.

Kuro-Same Arts officially began, unnamed mind you, in high school when I started getting serious about my photography. Soon after that I thoroughly immersed myself in ceramic/reuse sculpture as well. Throughout this time I was also taking part in various crafty things, such as making my own clothes and bringing new life to old furniture.
By the time I was in college, the name "Kuro-Same," via my girlfriend at the time, now wife, had started to stick to me and my artwork. Kuro-Same is now a collective of all the work I do, ranging from wears to wall art, sculpture to jewelry and everything in between.
To get in touch with me about my art, business, collaboration or really anything, please visit the Contact page. I'd love to hear from you. :) You can visit the Shop & Explore pages to find out how to purchase Kuro-Same items!
When I'm not working on art at home or in the studio, you'll likely find me at Modern Mouse, the gift boutique in Alameda that my wife and I own; otherwise, I enjoy working on music, scouting reuse stores, playing D&D, and just doing some general hanging out with my wife & family.
Kuro-Same Arts is currently undergoing a name change as I refocus many aspects of my artwork, so please send inquiries and followings to @cvltofcrows on Instagram.
