Born Angel Ramiro Sanchez in 1974 in Maracaibo, Venezuela, at
age six Ramiro was accepted with full scholarship into the Ninos
Cantores School for musically gifted children. At age fourteen
he began five years of apprenticeship with the realist painter,
Abdon Jose Romero, an eminent specialist in murals for churches
and publics buildings.
In 1993 a study grant from Mgr Gustavo Ocando Yamarte, Founder
of the Ninos Cantores, enable him to travel to Florence, Italy,
Where he successfully passed the admission examination for the
renowned Accademia di Belle Arti. During the four years he studied
full time at the Accademia, receiving his diploma magna cum
laude, Ramiro also attended drawing and painting sessions at
the Florence Academy of Art, directed by painter Daniel Graves.
Ramiro was appointed Senior Painting Instructor at the FAA in
1997. He continues to live and work in Florence.
Ramiro's paintings came to the attention of Italian private
collectors for the first time in 1996 at a juried exhibition
in Montopoli, near Florence. His successful showing led to
the acquisition of his works by collectors such as Antonio
Salini and count Francesco Guicciardini. Ramiro has been represented
since 1998 by Grenning Gallery. In 2001 he executed on commission
a portrait of the lead actress in the off-Broadway production
of The Countess. In 2003 his paintings and drawings were subject
of a monograph "Ramiro" by international art critic
John T. Spike.
In 2005 he received the special Director's Award at the Florence
International Biennale of Contemporary Art. He was invited
to show his work as a guest artist at the Austria Biennale
2006 edition.
Paintings, drawings and portraits by Ramiro are found in
public and private collections in Italy, Germany, England,
Hungary, The United States, Canada and Venezuela.
