"Mouth of Flower"

Octavio Ocampo (i) - Surrealism (i)
Octavio Ocampo was a Mexican surrealist artist who was famous for his style which he described as metamorphic. He juxtaposed a few images to create a larger image. This way, he was able to create an optical illusion of looking at a few finished elements in the frame but once the viewer takes a step back, the entire image is revealed. The term ‘metamorphic’ is less of a comment on the painting and more of a comment on the way we perceive his paintings. Here, the flowers and leaves form the borders of a feminine face. The butterfly, about to perch on the flower, appears like a nose. This is an image of scenic beauty that is also personified in the face of a woman who’s seemingly at peace. He himself once expressed in an interview that sometimes, he thinks of a face and then he implicitly imagines its likeness to another.
