Read MoreJuan Eugenio Ochoa was born in Colombia 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.
