Angel Ramirez’s art is recognizable by its clear and precise iconoclastic sagacity. Using recycled objects, text and images, many taken from medieval times, he builds a language that reveals daily life in Cuba today. Facing his paintings and prints it is impossible not to smile — and become thoughtful. Splendid images, sometimes accompanied by text or words bring to the fore his talent, intelligence, sense of humor and use of sarcasm which all work together to produce the visual poetry that defines his work. His work is part of important private art collectors and museums all over the world.
