Flora Ramirez-Bustamante makes paintings and small sculptures that integrate personal and cultural symbols in figurative or abstract compositions. She paints from found photographs, and art historical paintings. De-construction, ambiguity, raw and bold depictions are in the root of her art processes.
Ramirez-Bustamante is a Spanish-born visual artist based in Seattle, Washington. She received her BA in Spanish Linguistics from the Universidad Autonoma of Madrid, Spain, and her PhD on General Linguistics and Spanish Grammar from the same university years later. She is the second generation autodidact artist in her family.
