About the work

Multiple overlapping hands emerge from a deep purple background above a textured golden-brown ground, their layered forms creating a haunting and mysterious composition. The contrast between the dark upper field and the earthy lower register gives the print a powerful, elemental tension.

About the artist

Leticia Ocharan

Mexico

Leticia Ocharán (1942–1997) was a Mexican artist renowned for her contributions to painting, printmaking, and mural art. Born in Villahermosa, Tabasco, she pursued her artistic education at the Escuela de Artes Plásticas de Veracruz and the Escuela de Iniciación Artística No. 1 in Mexico City. Under the mentorship of Salvador Bribiesca, Mario Reyes, and Leticia Moreno, Ocharán honed her skills in painting, printmaking, and sculpture.

Throughout her career, Ocharán held over 50 solo exhibitions across Mexico, Venezuela, El Salvador, and Spain. Her work was featured in numerous international biennials, including those in Puerto Rico, Argentina, Japan, Turkey, India, and Germany. Notable exhibitions include her 1980 show at the Polyforum Cultural Siqueiros in Mexico City and her 1986 exhibition at the Museo Regional Carlos Pellicer Cámara in Villahermosa.

Ocharán's artistic style encompassed both abstraction and neo-figurativism, often drawing inspiration from her native Tabasco's landscapes and cultural heritage. Her works are part of esteemed collections such as the Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende in Chile and the Fondo Tabasco Collection. Beyond her artistic endeavors, she was an advocate for artists' rights, serving as president of the Mexican Committee of the International Association of Plastic Arts under UNESCO from 1988 to 1994.

Printmaking

Images made by transferring ink from a prepared surface — etching, lithography, screenprint, woodcut — usually in limited editions. Iraqi artists such as Rafa Nasiri helped make printmaking a serious modern art form across the Arab world.

Expressionism

Art that prioritizes emotion and inner experience over realistic depiction, using distortion, bold color, and energetic mark-making. In the region it gave modern artists a language for memory, displacement, and identity.
