Day of the Dead Art Gallery and Retail Store
 
     
 

El Día de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead has been celebrated in Mexico, and other Latin countries, since pre-Columbian times. This is a very special ritual, it is the day in which the living remember their departed relatives. Sometimes, when people of other cultures hear for the first time about the celebration of the Day of the Dead, they mistakenly think it must be: gruesome, terrifying, scary, ugly and sad. Nothing can be further from the truth, Day of the Dead is a beautiful ritual in which Mexicans happily and lovingly remember their loved relatives that have died. Much like when we go to a graveyard to leave some lovely flowers on a tomb.

On November 1st and 2nd Mexico celebrates the Day of the Dead, at Masks Y Mas we celebrate 365 days a year with Day of the Dead figurines, accessories, original art, t-shirts, masks, stickers, and accessories that commemorate El Día de los Muertos.

Octavio Ocampo Poster Catalog
Octavio Ocampo (born 28 February 1943) was born in Celaya, Guanajuato, Mexico. He grew up in a family of designers, and studied art from early childhood. At art school, Ocampo constructed papier mache figures for floats, altars, and ornaments that were used during carnival parades and other festivals. In high school, Ocampo painted murals for the Preparatory School and the City Hall of Celaya. Ruth Riviera, daughter of artist and muralist Diego Rivera, and Maria Luisa Mendoza encouraged him to attend the School of Painting and Sculpture of the National Fine Art Institute.

The talents of Octavio Ocampo are not limited to painting and sculpture, but also extended to acting and dancing. At the Art Institute of San Francisco, he studied all these disciplines and pursued both a film and theater career. In 1976, he began to devote himself solely to painting and sculpture.copyvio He now works primarily in the metamorphic style – using a technique of superimposing and juxtaposing realistic and figurative details within the images that he creates.
