Willy Ramos is a Colombian-born painter who currently re-
sides in Valencia. Though he emigrated from his hometown
of Pueblo Bello at the age of fourteen, the lush colour of
his homeland remains a strong influence in his paintings and
drawings.
Willy’s large-scale paintings, with their exuberant colour,
expressionistic mark-making and active surfaces, recall the
paintings of such twentieth century masters as Kandinsky
and Matisse. Though representational in terms of their sub-
ject matter, Ramos’ paintings function as abstract rhythms of
light and colour, organized in harmonious compositions that
are both balanced and energized.
