The artwork titled “Hollywood Lights,” created by the artist Octavio Ocampo, is a surrealist piece that falls within the genre of portraiture.
The artwork depicts a male face composed of various elements, seamlessly blended in a surrealistic manner. The eyes are formed by cars, each intricately rendered to contribute to the facial features. The nose is depicted by a car overlapping the face, and the lips are suggested through another vehicle. The overall texture and shading of the artwork create an illusion, portraying the cityscape as the background, with buildings radiating the eponymous Hollywood lights that blend into the hair texture. Trees and minute details accentuate the surreal nature, merging animate and inanimate objects to form a cohesive portrait.
