Mery Ortega
Biography
I’m Mery, born in Barcelona — a trained actress and also a mother.
What moves me is the human: raw emotion, awkward silences, the contradictions we all carry. What goes unsaid, but is deeply felt.
I’ve spent years searching for myself, on and off stage. I’ve lived intensely — and that’s left me with scars… but also with a sharpened gaze to tell the truth through my characters. I’m drawn to cinema that unsettles, that stirs something, that transforms.
Yes, I’m sensitive. But I’m also brave. I love to explore through the body, through music, through vulnerability and wildness.
I don’t give up easily. I keep training, evolving, looking for stories where a woman like me belongs: strong, tender, a little broken — and fully alive.
