Ordonez is a self-taught painter born in Mexico City. He began his studies of fine arts at the age of 10 in elementary school. He was immersed in the world of skateboarding for much of his youth, which was where he had his first contact with traditional graffiti, music and street culture of that time.  This all had strong influence on his lifestyle and is reflected later in his early graffiti murals.  In 2000 the project of "Lauve" in Mexico City, he began to use images by means of stencils on posters and propaganda, and this became a new avenue of expression for Fidel. He later put aside traditional graffiti to dedicate himself to this new phase of urban expression. In February 2007 he traveled to the city of Houston where he currently resides. His passion for exploring new ground in art has continued to develop into his first installations and sculptures.
