Provenance & Extra Info
Considered the Master of Metamorphical Illusion, Ocampo's work is in major collections worldwide; in Mexico, the National Palace and the collections of the last three presidents. H.M. The King of Spain is also a great admirer. Celebrity portraits for which Ocampo has been commissioned in the United States include President Jimmy Carter, Jane Fonda, Cher and the collection of the late Cesar Chavez. He works primarily in the metamorphic style - using a technique of superimposing and juxtaposing realistic and figurative details within the images that he creates. Following is the artist's interpretation of "Celestial Bodies":>>>Man holds the fate of the world in his hand. He can make the choice to destroy it or make it a better place. Man must have the vision (see the face looking at the globe in its hand, made of two angels) and the love of God (the two angels that make up the face) to safeguard the delicate balance of life on this small planet. In the lower right corner, an older soul helps one just beginning its journey to travel from its life in the old world (see face in the upper globe) to a new life in a younger world (see lower face). The center of the painting depicts an elder soul embracing and guiding a dreamer as he travels far from home.
