Sebastián Ramírez “Pica”

Sebastián Ramírez “Pica” is an architect and visual artist whose work explores the psychology of color and its impact on human behavior, using color as a means of appropriation and monochrome as a ritual symbol. A graduate in architecture from the Universidad Javeriana de Bogotá, with studies at the Universidad Tecnológica de La Habana and the Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, his practice focuses on painting, sculpture, and digital illustration, with a particular interest in vernacular and self-built architecture. Ramírez addresses issues such as rural abandonment, heritage conservation, and construction materials approved or disapproved by society, emphasizing spaces' emotional and symbolic charge.

 

He has participated in solo and group exhibitions in countries such as Japan, Switzerland, Mexico, the United States, and Colombia. His work has been exhibited in spaces like the Museo de la Universidad Militar Nueva Granada, Artbo Salas, and renowned galleries such as Ocre and Adrián Ibáñez. He has also collaborated in art fairs such as Feria del Millón and Feria FAMA Monterrey. In 2024, he presented his solo exhibition “Biodiversidad vernácula” at the Museo-Biblioteca Departamental de Cali, Colombia.
