in 1983. After studying medicine and obtaining his M.D. in 2007, he attended the
Department of Visual Arts at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, obtaining
a Master degree in Painting in 2013. Following the principles of traditional
oil painting, Ochoa has developed an
abstract-figurative synthesis in his paintings, based on two essential
assumptions: the figurative vision of the image on one hand, and its abstract
dimension on the other. The pictorial stratification obtained with the overlay
of transparencies and luminous veils wraps the morphological profile of the
image, which cannot be precisely identified and escapes any attempts to be recognized.
What emerges from the transparencies of color
is thus the primordial mystery of the images which appear in the evanescent
space of the painting just at the point to reveal something, but far from
revealing. What really matters is not the revealed thing, but the process of
revealing itself. The observation process thus returns, once again, to analyze
and reaffirm the essential nature of the painting: to be a perceptive
phenomenon. Ochoa has participated in several
solo and group exhibitions in Italy and abroad, and has been winner or finalist
in both national and international Art Contests. He lives and works in Milan.
