Jose Antonio Ochoa undertook a BFA and MFA at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Spain. His work has been seen in numerous group and solo exhibitions in Spanish cities and has been selected for national and international painting competitions.
The portrait is of Trini, the grandmother of a friend of the artist. Trini was ninety-six years old when she first met the artist, who realized immediately that he wanted to portray her in order to capture her distinctive face that reflected her life experiences. Trini passed away in October 2016 and was unable to see the completed work that was finished from reference photographs.
