Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – Galleria Dante, Puerto Vallarta’s largest and most eclectic art gallery, is featuring works by the talented artist Emilio Rama in its current Buy Now Sale. This special event offers art lovers a unique opportunity to acquire pieces from an artist who skillfully blends traditional and contemporary themes.
Emilio Rama, a self-taught artist originally from Obregon City, Sonora, has honed his craft through workshops and courses with respected international artists like Patrick Petterson and Ramses de la Cruz. His background gives him a deep understanding of various artistic techniques, which is evident in his distinctive style.
A Fresh Perspective on Modern Life
Rama’s art provides a fascinating look at our modern, consumer-driven society, one filled with entertainment and fleeting moments. However, his work is far from a simple critique. Instead, it presents a playful and visually rich experience. He creates a beautiful contrast by combining the delicate, disciplined art of origami with the bold, corporate images and recognizable characters from mass media. The result is a fusion of precision and pop culture that is both thought-provoking and aesthetically pleasing.
His paintings typically combines the precision and intricate designs of origami with elements of popular culture, such as popular movie characters, comic book heroes, or other recognizable figures from popular media. This combination not only showcases his technical skill but also reflects on the ever-changing nature of our cultural values and how popular culture influences our view of the world. Each piece is a testament to the artist’s ability to balance complex designs with a deep understanding of his cultural references.
A Growing Presence in the Art World
Rama’s work has gained recognition both in and outside of Mexico. He was selected for the prestigious I Biennial of Art Queretaro Santangel and received a grant from the Institute of Culture and the Arts of the state of Queretaro. He’s also participated in urban art festivals and a major international event such as Boarddripper and Arte Nueve Urbano, as well as in the Affordable Art Fair in Mexico DF.
His use of conventional objects depicted as paper figures can hint at the fragility of our environment and our tendency to use too many resources. Yet, the overall message remains positive and fun, with his unique pieces celebrated for their rich textures, bold colors, and imaginative figures.
This collection at Galleria Dante highlights Rama’s creativity and the exciting diversity of contemporary art. It’s an excellent chance to see how an artist can bridge the gap between tradition and the modern world, creating something truly unique and beautiful.
