Description: From the Victor Ochoa--Easel Painting and Graphics Exhibition at Centro Cultual de la Raza, Balboa Park, San Diego, CA. This painting combines several different images: a warrior with a spear holding a circular object above his head; a disembodied head in a space age helmet with two antennae visible; a tiger with its paw raised in the air, though the claws are retracted; and a bird's head is in the foreground, tilted at an unusual angle. They are all placed in an unearthly environment with portions of the universe visible. A swirling mass has a white triangle at its center.
