Eduardo Ramirez

Eduardo Ramirez (b. 1971, Monterrey, Mexico) lives and works in San Antonio, Texas. He spent his childhood and formative years in different places between Mexico and the USA. He started painting professionally when he was 18 years old. He has a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon (UANL). Even though his main creative method is painting, his new series brings together disciplines from different art forms: painting, sculpting, graphic design and some aspects of architecture. His work has been shown in many group and solo exhibitions in the USA and Mexico, the most recent being 'Corazón', at the Blue Star Arts Complex in San Antonio, TX USA; the city where he currently resides. His work borrows concepts from the realms of the Mysticism, the spiritual, and the intangible, to try to capture his impressions of the time and events he lives and experiences. Eduardo Ramirez with Radioactive Death unveiled his more subversive side and dwelt on the nature of what inspires him. In the center of this panel, framed by symbols reminiscent of the hours written on the clock, stands a red skull surrounded by a yellow halo, as if the skull itself could emanate light. Rays that become even more concrete in the background of the work. Certainly, Mexico emerges as part of the work; in fact, the skull has always been linked to the holiday "El dia de los muertos," which occurs on November 1 and 2. The dead are celebrated both with love and nostalgia and with fear and terror. The viewer is asked to try to figure out which feeling the work represents most. Love or fear?
