Ramon Ramirez - prints and biography

Ramon Ramirez is a Los Angeles–based artist whose work is deeply informed by his background in architecture and his lifelong connection to the city where he was born and raised. He earned his B.A., M.A., and M.Arch. degrees from the University of California, Berkeley, and has since developed a practice that blends structural rigor with a painter’s sensitivity to form, color, and cultural narrative.

Ramirez is featured in the landmark publication Contemporary Chicana/Chicano Artists and has exhibited widely in galleries and institutions across the United States. His work has been shown at Boise State University, the Carnegie Art Museum, the Fowler Museum at UCLA, the Mesa Southwest Museum in Arizona, Ohio State University, the Snite Museum at the University of Notre Dame, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and Woodbury University.

His paintings have also been published by major presses, including the Bilingual Press at Arizona State University, the Business Journal of Hispanic Research, New York University Press, and most recently the University of California, Los Angeles.

In addition to his painting career, Ramirez remains active in the Los Angeles art community as a teacher of architectural drawing and design, merging his dual passions for structure and artistic expression. His work continues to celebrate and interrogate the cultural, architectural, and human landscapes of Southern California.
