Carlos Ramirez: Abstract Paintings Channel Memory of Nature

Carlos Ramirez, a painter originally from Cuba and raised in Miami, creates expansive abstract artworks that draw inspiration from nature rather than direct observation. His pieces express the feelings of landscapes through color and movement. After initially pursuing architecture and law at the University of Miami Law School, he transitioned to art. At the age of twenty-three, he established the fashion brand Liancarlo, which deepened his design knowledge. Often starting with striking black ink and natural forms, Ramirez merges drawing with painting techniques. An enthusiastic hiker, he gathers insights from nature using unique tools like broken twigs. Influenced by Wolf Kahn, he embraced abstraction while keeping drawing as a key element. In 2014, he participated in the Master Artists Series workshops at the Atlantic Center for the Arts.
