Daniel Ochoa An Artist’s Perspective
I have always had a passion for art and the constant need to be creating. I am consistently making artwork in any and every way possible. I love being able to gather different media and materials and create something completely new. I have never had strict processes or steps that I follow when making art. I let my mind flow and just go with what I believe looks the most pleasing. I love turning things that people wouldn't normally consider "art" into art. In my work I use many different types of media and imagery: plastic shopping bags, report cards, and medical procedures such as x-rays. On top of all these layers, I draw faces with reflective "beams" coming out of the eyes. The purpose of this is to convey a new perspective about all the different types of media included in each piece. The "beams" are reflective so that the viewer can see himself in the art and get a different point of view from it. I use countless layers of different media to give the art work depth and transparency. The reality of being able to combine all these different things to create one unified piece of artwork excites me.
