Mauricio Ramirez

Mauricio Ramirez is a visual artist in Chicago, specializing in contemporary murals, commercial and fine art. With a commitment to social narratives and influenced by his Mexican culture, Mauricio developed a unique color theory emulating the vibrancy of the community. The Chicago native is best known for his pixelated murals which carry a technique of breaking down bursts of colors and triangles. Inspired by the history of his roots and community, the Mexican-American artist begins by taking familiar figures and depicts them with a fresh and unique painting style of contemporary art.
The world of street art influenced Mauricio through graffiti culture at an early age and is still present in his current work and precise spray-can control skills.
His overall goal is to bring a fresh and current look to the city where he incorporates his community-based practices. Once at a site, Mauricio immerses himself in the cultural scene, focusing on engagement and connections with members of the community.
