Octavio Ocampo is a Mexican painter and sculptor known for intertwining detailed images to create larger figures that can only be fully appreciated from a distance. He was born in 1943 in Celaya, Guanajuato and studied art in Mexico City and San Francisco, graduating in 1974. Ocampo lives and works in Tepoztlan, Mexico, using a metamorphic style with overlapped realistic and figurative details that produce ambiguous visions and contradictory feelings in his paintings and sculptures.
