Photograph of "Pan de Muertos" Painting by Octavio Ocampo Framed

"Pan de Muertos," a painting by Mexican surrealist artist Octavio Ocampo created in 1989. It is a part of Ocampo's "metamorphic" style, where multiple images are seen within a single painting. The central figure is a woman holding a basket of pan de muerto (bread of the dead). Skulls and loaves of bread are subtly incorporated into the composition, forming a visual illusion. Pan de muerto is a traditional Mexican sweet bread baked for the Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration. The painting plays with perceptions, inviting viewers to discover the hidden images. This is a photograph of the painting in a black cardboard frame and in a plastic sleeve.
