Figure painting creation is a popular theme for a long time,

Express the soul of the model in different ways,

The only thing necessary is an understanding of the structure,

As the saying "Draw a dragon and a tiger first draw a bone".

The human structure is unified,

But every painter has his own different feelings.

Painter from Brazil:

Gustavo Ramos

Gustavo Ramos

With the reproduction of the classical shapes of characters,

It is beautiful beyond reality and truth,

There are 240,000 crazy fans on the whole network.

Gustavo Ramos's figurative works are not only exquisite in technique, but also capture the spiritual core of the characters. His characters' expressions, body language and gestures are vivid and vibrant. For this reason, Ramos quickly became one of the hottest portrait painters. His oil paintings have been exhibited in many world-class art institutions, including the European Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and Sotheby's in new york.

Ramos grew up in Brazil,

Although I began to like painting at a very young age,

But he never imagined his future as a painter.

In 2008, 15-year-old Ramos moved to the United States with his family.

Ramos, who first went to high school abroad, had serious communication barriers, but this did not affect him to learn to communicate in sign language and rough language.

"At that time, I had to rely on observing body language to communicate with people," Ramos said.

Ramos, who is quite talented in language, also quickly integrated into the group.

He even learned several languages independently.

Ramos was inspired by his teacher when he was in Brazil,

The talent of painting makes the teacher very optimistic about him,

However, the lack of local art and cultural atmosphere,

Just in time for my family to move to the United States,

High school teachers continued to encourage him to learn more about art,

He had the idea of becoming a painter at the moment.

Since you have to work hard enough to become a painter,

Achieving the goal requires a certain process,

Ramos officially began his education at Southern Virginia University.

Ramos's understanding of painting is very simple,

How to draw a portrait more accurately,

This comes from the history of body language communication when I first arrived abroad.

He is more keen on digging details like a machine.

Ramos studies the basic skills a lot.

Scientific tutorials can only have a certain system,

But the teacher is not supportive "Replication Type" Painting,

But he acquiesced in his understanding and reading of painting,

Therefore, the teacher suggested that Ramos copy the classic works of classical masters for 4 hours every day. At the moment, he often appears in the corners of some art galleries, museums and studios. He has no concept of time after class, all of which are his persistence and love for painting.

The immersive painting process honed Ramos's skills,

It also cultivated his self-motivation and sense of responsibility,

Seemingly useless, but it laid a solid foundation for his success.

After graduation,

Ramos has a subtle successful experience.

From the initial hyper-realism to the appeal of classical studies

Hyper-realism can't satisfy his pursuit of authenticity,

It lacked the raw and deep emotional expression he longed for.

 

The paintings of Vermeer, Rembrandt, Caravaggio and Rubens fascinated him deeply. Rembrandt's influence on him was particularly significant. "His characters come to life, and they have real experiences," Ramos said. "I also hope to create works of eternal beauty and show authentic human experiences through my paintings."

 

Hyper-realism is more restorative, while classical is more aesthetic.

This seems to reflect his first arrival in a foreign country,

I have no language experience but only a few expressions are enough to communicate,

Painting feelings over time,

This resonates deeply with his artistic ideas.

Ramos, 32, has worked hard across the sea for 17 years.

To have a better artistic life,

During his career, Ramos has worn many hats,

Both creating artwork for the exhibition, accepting portrait commissions from clients, and crafting your own web presence and running workshops.

This will bring him a successful and glorious future.

Ramos, who finished his studies, devoted himself to painting full-time.

From crazy copying to creation,

In the painting, from past historians to models around you,

The emotions of portraits are very real and full,

At the age of 27, his works were even quoted by national magazines.

This honor successfully allowed Ramos to successfully enter the national art scene.

Ramos was then invited to exhibit at many well-known institutions around the world, including the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, Sotheby's and the European Museum of Modern Art.

In addition to extensive art exhibitions and collection institutions,

Ramos's successful persistence from a small city in Brazil to a foreign country has become the focus of major media magazines.

Once named "21 Young Artists Under 31 to Watch" list, "Emerging Artists",

The National Art Committee further recognized his artistic attainments.

International awards, "Rembrandt Year" Art Award, two-time winner of the John F. and Anna Lee Stacey Foundation Fine Arts Award, finalist of the Boynes Emerging Artist Award, and award-winner in the American Portrait Society International Competition.

Winning awards is soft, and honor is not a false name.

It bring both spiritual and material support to Ramos,

Greatly promoted Ramos's artistic career,

Consolidated his position in the art world,

And continued his artistic journey.

When you try hard enough,

It has value in itself,

This value will not be reflected immediately through hard work,

But it will definitely shine at some point in the future,

Crazy enough to be gorgeous enough.
