BIOGRAPHY 

 

Aldo Fabián Ramos (b. 1984) is a Houston based interdisciplinary artist who works primarily in painting and printmaking. Born in Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila, Mexico, a town located along the Southwestern Texas border, Ramos infuses intutitive abstract painting methods with contemporary and traditional printmaking to create compositions rich with color and symbolic motifs. 

 

He describes his practice as introspective and emotional in nature. His work often draws inspiration from and seeks to highlight subliminal personal and historical narratives that reference the complex nuances of border culture and his own bi-national upbringing between Texas and Mexico.

 

Ramos is currently studying printmaking at The Glassell School of Art, Print Studio School at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. 

 

Ramos has exhibited his work across Texas in institutions and galleries including The Glassell School of Art, The Art Museum of South Texas, K Space Contemporary, Concrete Gallery, Presa House Gallery, and St. Edward’s University. His work is included in private collections in Texas, Mexico, California, New York, and the Mid-West.
