Ernesto Ramirez

My Background
I was born in beautiful Guanajuato, Mexico. When I was 5 years old, my parents decided to move to Mazatlán. Growing up on the Pacific Coast I fell in love with the ocean, but I always had the desire to go back to Guanajuato to pursuit my dream of becoming an Architect. I had, and still have, a passion for arts, building, design and creativity.  At 18 years old, I moved to Guanajuato and began my college degree in Architecture at the University of Guanajuato. During college, I rediscovered my passion for painting. After graduating college, I lived and worked as an Architect in various cities, ending in Tijuana, Mexico. In 2001, I moved to Los Angeles, California working in construction, as a Tile Setter, and a bathroom/kitchen Designer. I moved to Palm Springs from Long Beach, California during the pandemic and now I'm a full-time artist.
 
My Medium
Uncommitted to any particular medium, I have been working on paintings using oils, wax, and acrylic paint. I'm looking forward to experiment with different techniques in the future! 
 
My Inspiration
For my new series called La Lucha Libre, I used acrylic & oil paint with wax & pastels on canvas. This is a good representation of my style.........COLORFUL!!
