Artist like Edades, Ocampo and Francisco known as the “the triumvirate of modern art” led us to cross the bridge of modernism. Their arts works are influenced by the western culture such as abstraction, constructivism, expressionism, maximalism, minimalism, magic realism, pop art, environmental art and of course contemporary art.
