| One has to look long and hard at Octavio’s paintings. The longer one
looks at his work, the more that is revealed. Faces come into focus at
a distance and metamorphose into something else entirely in close up. Flowers
become faces, mountains speak to each other, and mourners over a coffin
become the face of Christ. His works are full of symbolism, endlessly fascinating,
each revealing a new facet, different to each viewer.
Octavio Ocampo works primarily in the metamorphic style - using a technique of superimposing and juxtaposing realistic and figurative details within the images that he creates. The longer you study his works, the more hidden images you seem to find. You can view a larger image of the works below by simply clicking on it. |
