'He likes to paint themes of freedom, life, and connectivity and uses the important women in his life as inspirations for the women in his murals; the woman in his mural, “The Hummingbirds” (seen above), for example, is in the likeness of his mother, who died when he was very young.
Always finding a way to fit art into his life, Ramiro has dreamed of being able to devote 100% of his time to creating art since he was a boy. After moving to the United States and working for many years, he was finally able to meet this goal when he opened his own tattoo shop in 2012. With a number of employees on his staff, he is able to spend time at work while also devoting time to painting murals for the community.
Ramiro says it takes him 5 days to paint a mural from start (cleaning/prepping the painting surface) to finish (adding a protective coating) and hopes to one day paint murals in Waukesha where he lives, as well.'
