Sandra Perez-Ramos

Sandra Perez-Ramos (born San Juan, Puerto Rico[1][2]) is an American visual artist currently residing and working out of the Greater Washington, D.C. area. Perez-Ramos studied and earned her BA in 1998 from the School of Communications at the University of Puerto Rico.[1] She resides in Silver Spring, Maryland.[3]

Work

Perez-Ramos' artwork has lately been generally focused on a neo-primitive, somewhat whimsical approach to art.[1] Her work has been included in three major international photography biennials in Cuba and Puerto Rico,[1] and in exhibitions throughout the US. More recently her work has been addressing more Latin(x) focused themes, such as Mexican painter Frida Kahlo.[4]

In 2020 her work was described as "Her artistic pedigree is evident in her gifted use of color and form to deliver highly stylized imagery, which over the years has grown into one of the hardest achievements in the art world: a completely distinct style and ritual."[5]

She is the co-founder and Vice-President of The Latino Art League of Greater Washington DC,[1] and the former Membership Chair at the Montgomery Art Association.[1]
