ABOUT THE WORK

H.R. Ocampo's emotionally charged abstraction pieces are profound results of his everyday observations of what surrounded him, from Philippine flora and fauna, as well as animals to rain and sunshine. Though despite his habit of drawing inspiration from his surroundings, Ocampo's works are anything but derivative. His assemblage of interlocking shapes and unique color palette has birthed a unique visual language that is characteristically and distinctly his. His art is far from merely decorative masterpieces and are considered personal and substantial reactions to the stimuli and environment that the artist busied himself with.
