Tomás Ochoa

Inflammable alludes directly and repeatedly to the notion of landscape as a symbolic element. Although Tomás Ochoa (Ecuador, 1965) is not only a landscape artist, on the contrary, he is a multimedia and polythematic artist, he has found in the representation of the landscape a tool that has been useful not only to show the incidence of violence on the territories and their inhabitants, but also to raise questions about terms such as community, identity, violence and resistance to oblivion. The landscape and the spatial conception to which Inflammable alludes, is the one on which senses and new values are built, evidencing the way in which, as a collective, we deploy our gaze and presence on the spaces, to which we simultaneously imbricate cultural codes that account for our forms of existence.
