Gus & Lina Ocamposilva

"ART is the only thing that keeps my mind, soul and body together ".

Gus Ocamposilva was born in Colombia , studied Murals at Massana School of Barcelona and painting
procedures at Barcelona University, Spain.(1992-1995)
He works as a team with his wife Lina, together they make and install colorful sculptures around
the world and share the same passion for art. Ocamposilva’s art works are an interpretation of
the world where they were raised; the Andes and the Tropic, a world filled with a great
diversity of colors.

" I pretend to show in all my paintings and sculptures the sensibility of the human spirit; exploring through the abstraction the forms of the body, the fusion of the colors, the sensuality and the tonal charm with powerful and expressive brush strokes".
