Cecilia Ramos

As an artist and jewelry designer based in the vibrant tapestry of New York City, my work is an exploration of the intricate relationship between space, color, and emotion. Trained as an architect, I bring a unique perspective to my creative practice, which encompasses both detailed interior paintings and expansive abstract landscapes: The canvas becomes a space to inhabit. In my latest series of interior paintings, I delve into the subtleties of fantastical design, capturing imaginative details in lush colors that transcend reality. While the subject of my abstract landscape paintings differs, similarly, each piece is a celebration of imaginative space shaped through color. These works serve as a departure from the confines of architecture, embracing the freedom of abstraction to create immersive compositions that resonate with the viewer’s imagination and invite introspection.

My fascination with color is not merely aesthetic; it is a sensory experience that transcends the visual. Living with synesthesia allows me to perceive colors in harmony with music, crafting a unique dialogue between sound and hue that informs my creative process. Each stroke of paint becomes a note in a symphonic arrangement, revealing layers of meaning and emotion. The interplay of light, shadow, and color in my work invites viewers to engage in these immersive spaces, encouraging them to explore the often-overlooked details that shape our environments.

Ultimately, my art reflects my belief that color is a powerful language—one that can communicate emotions, memories, and connections. Whether in the minutiae of a designed space or the expansive freedom of a landscape, through color, I aspire to evoke a sense of wonder and connection, encouraging viewers to see beyond the surface of the canvas. It is an invitation to pause, observe, and immerse oneself in a fantastical alternate world.
