Ramon builds on the traditions of 1960's and 1970's Pop Art masters. His award-winning artwork brings together bright colors and playful themes celebrating beauty and life while projecting an optimistic sense of energy and style.
He attended Methodist
College in Fayetteville, North Carolina in 1982 to study the fine art
of print making and design. He later transferred to the Art Institute of
Philadelphia and graduated in 1989 with a degree in
Specialized Technology. Ramon has since worked with multiple mediums
including print making, acrylic paint, sculpture, computer graphics and
digital photography.
Ramon worked in advertising agencies as an Art Director for over 15 years in the
Washington, DC area where he developed his strong knowledge of
computers and design software. His many years of Graphic Design
experience has had a major influence on Ramon’s creative work and style.
Ramon is currently living on Kent Island in Chester, Maryland. The Chesapeake Bay and surrounding areas provide
an abundance of nature, beauty and wildlife which inspire many of his
artistic creations.
