Miguel Ramos received his BFA and MFA from The University of Texas at San Antonio.
He is also a musician (currently a member of Sexto Sol) and co-founder of San
Anto Cultural Arts. In his work, he uses a Sharpie marker to depict Mexican
Americans as he sees them in life, not as characters, but as “the likenesses
of actual friends and acquaintances from photographs I have taken”. In
this kind of documentary fashion he portrays his subjects as complex and layered,
as “pocho, Tejano, indigenous, mainstream american, mexican, punk rocker,
and xicana/o all at once. |
